General match analysis

I back a home win (1). Ludogorets are perfect at home with 100% wins and 100% clean sheets: 2-0-0, averaging 1.0 goals scored and 0.0 conceded per game. Botev Vratsa away record is 0-0-1 (loss% 100), conceding 2.0 goals per away match and registering only 2 shots on target per game. Both teams show similar overall form in the last 5 (Ludogorets 3-1-1; Botev 3-1-1), but Botev struggle on the road. Quality-of-chances comparison shows 1.07 xG for the home side at home versus 1.28 xG for the visitors away; however xG against Ludogorets is 1.83, indicating the hosts have defended efficiently despite allowing expected chances. Additionally, the hosts have 55% possession versus 40% for the guests and 4 shots on target versus 2. Based on this I assign 72% probability to a Ludogorets win, 16% to a draw and 12% to a Botev Vratsa win.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

The main signal for BTTS - Yes is that both teams have season BTTS at 100% with season clean sheet percentages at 0%, meaning both sides have conceded and scored in 100% of their matches this season. Additionally, the league BTTS is 64%, and Botev Vratsa concedes on average 2.0 goals per game season-to-date and in the last 5 matches has scored 8 goals (1.6 avg) while conceding 4 (0.8), indicating simultaneous offensive capability and defensive fragility. The counterargument is that Ludogorets has 0% BTTS in the last 5 matches, scoring 4 goals (0.8) and conceding 2 (0.4), so recent matches more often show No Goal outcomes. However, the hosts’ season and recent xG trends are rising — recent xG_for 1.71 vs xG_against 1.63 — and with an average of 4 shots and a 25% conversion rate they have the potential to score even with a low number of chances. The weight of both teams’ 100% BTTS signal and the league 64% BTTS outweighs caution from the hosts’ form, therefore I recommend BTTS - Yes with a probability split of 85% vs 15% for No Goal.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

Both teams have 100% BTTS and 100% of matches over 1.5 goals this season (seasonOver15 = 100% for both), which strongly indicates at least 2 goals in the match. Botev Vratsa’s xG is 1.28 versus 0.83 for Ludogorets, and in the last 5 matches Botev scored 8 goals (1.6 avg) against Ludogorets’ 4 goals (0.8); additionally Ludogorets shows 25% conversion from 4 shots (~1.0 goals avg), while Botev has 14% from 7 shots (~1.0). Based on this I project 0.95 goals for Ludogorets and 1.35 for Botev, totaling 2.30 goals, which is close to the league average of 2.43 and strengthens the signal for Over 1.5. Seasonal splits for Over 2.5 (Ludogorets 0% vs Botev 100%) give moderate support for Over 2.5 (~55%), whereas Over 3.5 looks unlikely (both teams 0% Over 3.5). Therefore the strongest and most confident pick is the Over 1.5 line (recommendation: Over 1.5).

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

In the last five matches for both teams, a draw at half-time occurred relatively often – 40% for the home side and 40% for the visitors, hence a high share of scenarios starting with a draw. Ludogorets scores on average 1.0 goal and concedes 1.0 per match, while Botev Vratsa concedes an average of 2.0 goals per match, indicating the visitors’ weaker defense. In the last five games the home team conceded only 0.2 goals in the second half versus 0.6 conceded by Botev, and additionally Ludogorets’ conversion rate is 25% compared to 14% for the visitors, even though Botev generates more xG (1.28 vs 0.83) and more shots (7 vs 4). This suggests that after a goalless or level first period the hosts are more efficient in the closing stages, therefore the most likely scenario is a Half-Time draw and a home win at Full-Time (X/1).
