Archived pre-match analysis

This analysis was prepared before kick-off. The conclusions use only information available before the match and do not include the final result or post-match statistics.

General match analysis

Spartak Pleven have the edge in current form: they have won 3 of their last 5 matches, while OFK Pirin have failed to win during that span and have lost 4 games. The hosts have also lost all of their last 5 home matches, conceding an average of 2.8 goals at home and keeping no clean sheets. The visitors average 0.83 goals away from home, compared with Pirin’s 0.6 at home, while their average xG is 1.08 versus 1.07 for the hosts, so the gap in the quality of chances created is marginal. Spartak also have defensive issues, conceding an average of 2.67 goals away from home, which means a draw or a home-team resurgence remain possible. The case for backing the visitors rests primarily on their clearly superior recent results and Pirin’s run of home defeats.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

BTTS has occurred in 40% of OFK Pirin’s matches and 33% of Spartak Pleven’s, below the league average of 45% for both teams. The hosts have failed to score in 40% of their matches, while the visitors have drawn a blank in 50%, increasing the likelihood that at least one side will finish without a goal. Spartak concede an average of 2.67 goals per match, so the visitors’ defensive weakness gives Pirin a genuine opportunity to score, but does not guarantee that both teams will find the net. Over their last 5 matches, Pirin averaged just 0.6 goals from an xG of 0.88, while Spartak scored 1.2 goals from an xG of 1.27. Despite vulnerabilities at both ends, the lower scoring output and historical BTTS rates support a BTTS - No pick, meaning at least one team is expected not to score.

View BTTS statistics
Over/Under - goals analysis

The strongest signal is for Over 1.5 goals: this line has been surpassed in 100% of Spartak Pleven’s matches and 60% of OFK Pirin’s matches. The visitors concede an average of 2.67 goals per match, boosting the hosts’ chances despite their modest average of 1.2 goals scored. In their last five matches, both teams recorded Over 2.5 goals in 80% of games, while Pirin conceded an average of 2.2 goals in those matches, supporting the expectation of an open game. However, Spartak score only 0.83 goals per match on average, making the 2.5 line less reliable than 1.5. With a projected total of 2.80 goals, Over 1.5 goals offers the strongest data-backed edge.

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

A draw at half-time is the most likely outcome: OFK Pirin were level at the break in 3 of their 5 home matches, while Spartak Pleven had not led at half-time in any of their 6 away games. After the break, the hosts could gain the upper hand, scoring an average of 0.8 goals while the visitors concede 1.5. Pirin’s prospects of winning at full-time are also supported by their 60% home win rate, compared with Spartak’s 67% away loss rate, and the hosts’ average xG of 1.47 against the visitors’ 1.08. However, recent form tempers confidence in this HT/FT pick: Pirin have won none of their last 5 matches, while Spartak have won 3, so a draw at half-time followed by a home win has only a moderate edge over the alternatives.
