General match analysis
Botev Vratsa remain winless after five rounds, having scored just 3 goals and conceded 13, while earning only 1 point from their last five matches. Botev Plovdiv have a clearly stronger season record, with 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats, and a goal difference of 7:8 compared with the hosts’ 3:13. The visitors create more chances away from home, averaging 8.5 shots and 4 on target per match, whereas Vratsa manage only 4.5 shots and 2 on target. However, Plovdiv’s away defence is prone to errors, conceding an average of 2.5 goals despite an xG against of 1.97, and having lost both away matches, making a draw a realistic scenario. Nevertheless, the hosts’ poor finishing—Vratsa average 0.5 goals at home with an xG of 0.93 and have failed to keep a clean sheet—slightly favours an away win.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The scenario of both teams scoring is supported by recent results: both Botev Vratsa and Botev Plovdiv recorded BTTS - Yes in 60% of their last five matches, compared with the league average of 56%. The hosts are particularly vulnerable defensively, conceding an average of 2.6 goals per match over this period, while the visitors created 1.72 xG. Botev Vratsa should also be able to exploit the opponents’ defensive weakness: Botev Plovdiv concede an average of 2.5 goals away from home, have kept no clean sheets, while the hosts produce an average of 2.06 xG and 8.33 shots on target. The risk to the pick is Vratsa’s weaker recent finishing, as they scored only 0.6 goals per match across their last five fixtures; however, the extent of the visitors’ defensive problems still significantly increases the likelihood of them conceding.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
At home, Botev Vratsa create chances worth an average of 2.06 xG and record 8.33 shots on target per match, while Botev Plovdiv concede an average of 2.50 goals and 1.97 xG away from home. The visitors have scored in 50% of their matches, but the hosts have conceded as many as 2.60 goals per game in their last five fixtures, which increases the attacking potential of this match. At least two goals were scored in 67% of the hosts’ matches and in all of Botev Plovdiv’s away games so far. Vratsa’s recent form nevertheless calls for caution regarding higher goal lines, as they have scored only 0.60 goals per game in their last five appearances. The strongest signal is therefore Over 1.5 goals, supported by a forecast of 2.95 goals and the visitors’ clearly weak away defensive record.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
Botev Vratsa are in clearly weaker current form: they have not won any of their last five matches, averaging 0.6 goals scored and 2.6 conceded.

The visitors held a lead at the break in two of their last five matches, whereas the hosts did not record such an outcome. Although Vratsa’s previous home data is stronger, the current disparity in form—particularly the hosts’ very poor first-half performance—most strongly supports the HT/FT 2/2 option, with Botev Plovdiv leading at half-time and ultimately winning.
