View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The BTTS pick is not primarily based on Botev Vratsa’s limited attacking potential: the visitors average just 0.67 goals per season and 0.6 over their last 5 matches. Arda are currently very solid defensively, conceding only 0.6 goals per game across their last five fixtures, with opponents averaging 0.93 xG. BTTS has landed in just 40% of both teams’ last five matches, while Arda have kept a clean sheet in 33% of their games this season. The visitors’ weak defence, conceding 2.4 goals per match in their recent run, increases Arda’s chances of scoring, but does not offset the low probability of Botev finding the net. Therefore, the more likely scenario is that at least one team—most notably Botev Vratsa—will fail to score, making BTTS - No the preferred outcome.
