General match analysis

The favorite is Ludogorets — the visitors sit 2nd and average 2.07 goals scored and 0.71 conceded on the road, while Arda at home average 1.00 scored and 0.86 conceded. The visitors show higher efficiency: 5.64 shots on target and 14.14 shots overall away with a 15% conversion rate, versus Arda’s 4.5 on target, 13.64 overall and 7% conversion; season totals are 57 goals for Ludogorets versus 32 for Arda. In the last 5 matches Ludogorets scored 14 goals with a record of 4 wins and 1 draw, while Arda scored 8 with 3 wins and 2 losses; points per game in the last 5 are 2.6 for Ludogorets and 1.8 for Arda. Defensive metrics also favor the visitors: only 19 goals conceded this season, 64% of away matches with a clean sheet and average xG against 1.02, versus Arda’s 27 conceded, 43% home clean sheets and xG against 1.13. Considering better conversion (15% vs 7%), lower share of matches without a goal (21% vs 43%), higher xG (1.86 vs 1.72) and current form, I back an away win; probability distribution: 65% Ludogorets, 20% draw and 15% Arda.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

Seasonal BTTS rates are 47% for Arda and 36% for Ludogorets (league average 44%), providing a baseline signal for a moderate chance of both teams scoring. Stronger evidence against BTTS is the high clean sheet rates: Arda records a clean sheet in 53% of matches and Ludogorets in 64%, which significantly reduces the likelihood of Goal/Goal. In the last 5 matches BTTS occurred in only 40% of Arda’s games and 20% of Ludogorets’ games; Ludogorets conceded just 0.2 goals on average in this run, while Arda scored 1.6 on average, indicating opponents’ defensive advantage. On one hand Arda generates high home xG (2.3) and averages 18.33 shots with 6.67 on target, but has a low conversion rate of 10%, whereas Ludogorets has 1.86 xG away and a higher conversion rate of 15% — so Arda creates chances but converts them less often. Considering the 53% and 64% clean sheet rates, weakened BTTS figures in the last 5 matches (40% / 20%) and the league BTTS level of 44%, I forecast the No Goal scenario as stronger (63% vs 37%).

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

Combining attack xG and opponent defensive xG yields approximately 1.66 goals for Arda and 1.39 for Ludogorets: Arda attack xG 2.30 versus opponents’ conceded xG 1.02 gives ≈1.66, and Ludogorets attack xG 1.86 versus hosts’ conceded xG 0.92 gives ≈1.39, totalling ≈3.05 goals. In the last 5 matches Ludogorets scored 14 goals (avg 2.8) and Arda 8 goals (1.6), so in this sample both teams averaged 4.4 goals per game; in that period the visitors conceded 1 goal and the hosts 4. Seasonal indicators support Over 2.5: percentage of matches over 2.5 is 53% for Arda and 50% for Ludogorets versus a league average of 45%, and average shots 18.33 (Arda) and 14.14 (Ludogorets) with conversion rates of 10% and 15% increase real scoring potential. Based on an expected 3.05 goals I assign a high probability for Over 1.5 (~92%) and clear support for Over 2.5 (~72%), while Over 3.5 is less likely (~32%). Therefore the best compromise between certainty and value is Over 2.5 (recommendation: Over at the 2.5 line).

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

The strongest signal comes from the visitors — in the last 5 matches Ludogorets led at the break in 4 of 5 games (80%), while Arda did so in only 1 of 5 (20%). The visitors also display better form: 4 wins in their last 5 matches (80%) versus Arda’s 3 wins (60%), and the average first-half goals are 1.4 for Ludogorets compared to 0.6 for Arda. Over the season Ludogorets scores an average of 2.07 goals per match with a 15% shot conversion rate, whereas Arda have a higher xG (xG = 2.3) but a lower conversion rate of 10%, suggesting the visitors are more efficient at turning chances into goals. Additionally, clean sheets for the visitors are more common — 79% of matches with a clean sheet at the break and 64% for the full match — versus 67% at the break and 53% for the full match for the hosts, which supports a scenario of Ludogorets taking a lead at the break and maintaining the result. Therefore I assign the highest probability to the 2/2 outcome, with smaller stakes for X/2 and possible draws.
