View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

The strongest indication against both teams scoring is Spartak Varna’s record: both sides scored in just 17% of their away matches and 20% of their last 5 games. The visitors failed to score in 50% of their away matches and average 1.0 goals in those games, while CSKA 1948 Sofia concede an average of 1.0 goals at home. The hosts have scored 14 goals in their last 5 matches, but their season average at home is only 0.83 goals, so their scoring is not certain either. The teams’ recent average xG figures of 1.77 and 1.74 point to some potential for goals at both ends. However, Spartak’s low scoring frequency makes BTTS - No the more likely outcome: this means at least one team will fail to score, not necessarily that the match will finish 0:0.

Over/Under - goals analysis

CSKA 1948 Sofia have averaged 2.8 goals scored over their last 5 matches, but their season average is only 0.83, making it difficult to expect this high scoring rate to continue. Spartak Varna average 1.0 goal per match, and only 20% of their last 5 games went Over 2.5 goals. Although the visitors concede an average of 1.83 goals, no more than 3 goals were scored in 67% of their matches; the figure for the hosts is 83%. The forecast of 2.55 goals factors in CSKA’s improved attack, but points to Under 3.5 goals as the strongest pick among the lines analyzed.

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

CSKA 1948 Sofia has stronger indicators for taking the lead before the break: at home, they score an average of 0.67 goals in the first half and concede 0.17, while Spartak score 0.17 and concede 1.00 on the road. The hosts led at the break in 2 of their 6 home matches, while the visitors were trailing at that stage in 3 of their 6 away games. CSKA’s recent form also supports a win: they have won 4 of their last 5 matches, scoring an average of 2.8 goals, while Spartak have won 2 of 5 and averaged 1.0 goal. The risk to CSKA holding their lead lies in the second half, as Spartak score an average of 0.83 goals away from home after the break, and CSKA concede at the same rate at home. Even so, the hosts’ stronger start and clearly superior recent scoring form make a CSKA lead at half-time followed by a full-time win the most likely single scenario in the HT/FT market.
