Command Analysis

Botev Plovdiv

Current form
Last season was not very successful for Plovdiv Botev in terms of its performance in the championship. The club took only ninth place, but managed to win the country cup, beating Ludogorets in the final (3:2). In addition to the trophy, the hosts also got the opportunity to try themselves in the Europa League. There they even managed to beat Slovenian Maribor (2:1 and 2:2) in the first qualifying round, but already in the next stage the Plovdiv team was knocked out of the tournament by Greek Panathinaikos. In the Conference League, the team unexpectedly lost to Bosnian Zrinjski and left the European Cups. But in the Bulgarian championship, Botev occupies third place and is only three points behind second-placed Levski. In the last three rounds, Dusan Kerkes' team beat CSKA 1948 (1:0), Levski (1:0) and Slavia Sofia (1:0).

Cherno More Varna

Cherno More showed excellent results last season. The team took second place, only seven points behind the hegemon of the Bulgarian league, Ludogorets. However, they did not manage to get far in the European Cups. In the first qualifying round of the Conference League, the club from Varna lost to Hapoel Be'er Shiva (0:0 and 1:2). In the championship, the team currently occupies fifth place, but is only two points behind fourth-placed Spartak, while having a match in hand.

1.62Tip and bets
Both teams have demonstrated excellent defensive play this season. The hosts have conceded only five goals, while the visitors have conceded six. At the same time, the teams do not often score more than one goal per match. It is unlikely that the opponents will change tactics in a face-to-face match; after all, the clubs are competitors for a place in the top three. Most likely, they will not score many goals.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals for 1.60
Bet on the outcome
The hosts have won three matches in a row, without conceding a single goal during this period. The club from Plovdiv looks great on its home field and will probably continue to achieve positive results. Cherno More is also having a good season, but is unlikely to beat the third team in the championship in an away match.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (0) on Botev with a coefficient of 1.67
Bet on corners
It is unlikely that the opponents will count on corners in this match. Most likely, the teams will attack positionally, which will certainly lead to a small number of corners.
Our prediction is total under 9.5 corners with odds of 1.90
