View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

Both teams have finished their season matches with goals at both ends in 60% of cases, while in their last 5 matches Ludogorets recorded 80%, compared with Arda’s 60%. The hosts score an average of 1.8 goals per match and have an xG of 1.63, giving them a solid basis for finding the net against an opponent that concedes an average of 1.4 goals. Arda score an average of 1.2 goals and generate an xG of 1.25, so they also have a chance to break down the hosts’ defense, which concedes an average of 1.0 goals. The risk to the BTTS - Yes pick comes from Ludogorets’ 40% clean-sheet rate and the average of just 0.8 goals conceded in their last 5 matches. Even so, both teams’ consistent scoring and their results in the BTTS market to date provide a slightly stronger case for goals at both ends.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

At least 2 goals were scored in 80% of matches involving both teams, making this the strongest indicator in favor of Over 1.5 goals. Ludogorets average 1.8 goals scored, while Arda concede 1.4, giving the home side a solid basis to score more than once. The visitors average 1.2 goals scored, but Ludogorets concede just 1.0, so I assess their contribution to the total more cautiously. The projected total of 2.70 goals favors Over 1.5, but with both teams seeing Over 2.5 goals in only 40% of their matches, the higher line does not offer as strong a signal.

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

A draw at half-time is the most likely outcome, as both teams went into the break level in 60% of their matches so far, while Arda have drawn the first half in 4 of their last 5 games. Over the season, Ludogorets have averaged just 0.4 goals before half-time, although they have raised that average to 1.0 over their last 5 matches. The hosts’ advantage is more pronounced after the break: they score an average of 1.4 goals, while Arda concede 1.0 in this period and lose it in 60% of matches. Ludogorets’ average of 1.8 goals per game compared with Arda’s 1.2, as well as their higher xG of 1.63 versus 1.25, also point to a home win at full-time. However, Arda have averaged 1.2 goals after the break in their last 5 matches, so the HT/FT scenario of a draw at the break followed by a home win is the strongest signal, but not a clear-cut certainty.
