Match Preview
Botev Plovdiv hosts Levski Sofia at Stadion Hristo Botev on Saturday, 23 August, in a clash that promises intensity given both teams' recent form. Botev has struggled, managing just one win in their last five matches, while Levski arrives with a more positive outlook, securing three victories in their last five outings. This disparity in form could be pivotal, particularly as Botev seeks to regain momentum on home soil. Historically, this fixture has been competitive, with Botev winning five of the last ten encounters. However, Levski's current form suggests they could exploit Botev's defensive vulnerabilities, especially as both teams have shown a tendency to concede goals—evidenced by the fact that both teams scored in five of their last ten meetings. With odds of 2.1 for a Levski victory and 2.25 for over 2.5 goals, the match could see plenty of action. Keep an eye on the attacking prowess of Levski as they look to capitalise on Botev's shaky start to the season.
