Botev Vratsa vs Arda: match statistics
Arda displays significantly better form in the last five matches, earning 2.2 points per game compared to just 0.6 points for Botev Vratsa. The hosts have not won any of their last five meetings and have very poor effectiveness in attack – barely 2 goals in this period and 58% of matches without scoring at home. Arda possesses better offensive statistics, with an average of 1.17 goals per away match and higher shot conversion (13% vs 6%). The visitors' positive goal difference (+2) in away matches and 50% clean sheets testify to defensive solidity. Considering the advantage in possession (52% vs 46%) and Arda's better disposition, I expect a victory for the visitors, although Botev Vratsa's home form with 50% draws makes a split of points also realistic.
