Spartak Varna presents weak form, but looks significantly better in home matches than Montana does on the road. The hosts score an average of 1.27 goals per match at home and have a goal difference of -8, while Montana scores just 0.42 goals on average away with a balance of -16. Montana has not scored any goals in their last 5 matches and loses a staggering 67% of their away fixtures, failing to score in 58% of away games.

A draw remains possible due to Spartak's high percentage of home draws (36%), but Montana's away form and statistics indicate difficulties in gaining points.
