View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

The strongest argument for BTTS - No is Ludogorets’ defensive record: in the current campaign, the visitors have yet to concede a goal, keeping a clean sheet in 100% of their matches, and none of their games have ended with both teams scoring. Cherno More are currently experiencing a clear finishing problem, having scored just 3 goals in their last 5 matches — an average of 0.6 per game — with BTTS at 40%. During this period, the hosts conceded as many as 2.6 goals per match, which supports the scenario in which Ludogorets can secure the result on their own. The visitors’ attacking potential is very high: they average 2.40 xG, 17 shots and 11 shots on target per match, compared with Cherno More’s 1.31 xG and 4.5 shots on target. Although the hosts may create chances, the combination of their weaker scoring form and the opponent’s highly reliable defense points more strongly towards at least one team failing to score.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

Ludogorets possess significantly greater attacking potential, averaging 2.40 xG and 11.0 shots on target per match, compared with Cherno More’s 1.31 xG and 4.5 shots on target. However, the hosts have been in poor scoring form, averaging just 0.6 goals per game over their last 5 matches, while Ludogorets are yet to concede a goal in the current campaign. At the same time, Cherno More’s defense has conceded as many as 2.6 goals on average across their last five matches, giving the visitors a solid chance of scoring one or two goals. Despite this, neither team has recorded a match with over 3.5 goals so far, while the league average is just 2.38 goals. The strongest signal is therefore Under 3.5, as the projected total of 2.45 goals remains clearly below the line.

View Over/Under statistics
HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

Ludogorets are showing clearly superior current form: over their last five matches, they averaged 1.4 goals scored and 2.0 points, while Cherno More scored just 0.6 goals, conceded 2.6, and lost four of those five games. The visitors led at the break in 60% of these matches, while the hosts were trailing at half-time in as many as 60%; their average first-half goals stand at 0.8 for Ludogorets and 0.2 for Cherno More, respectively. The visitors’ advantage is also evident in the quality of chances created: their xG is 2.40 compared with the hosts’ 1.31, and they average 11.0 shots on target versus 4.5 for their opponents. Ludogorets have kept a clean sheet in 100% of their away matches to date, while Cherno More conceded an average of 2.0 goals in the second halves of their last five games, further supporting the HT/FT scenario of the visitors leading at the break and securing the final victory (2/2).
