Match Preview
Ludogorets will host Botev Plovdiv at the Huvepharma Arena on Sunday evening, looking to build on their mixed form. The home side has recorded two wins, a loss, and a draw in their last five matches, while Botev Plovdiv has struggled significantly, managing just one draw and four losses. Historically, Ludogorets has dominated this fixture, winning six of the last ten encounters and boasting a strong home record against Botev, which could play a crucial role in their performance. One key aspect to consider is Ludogorets' attacking prowess, with six of their last ten meetings against Botev seeing over 2.5 goals. Given Botev's defensive vulnerabilities and their recent struggles, a bet on over 2.5 goals at odds of 1.85 appears promising. Additionally, Ludogorets' need for a strong home performance after a shaky start to the season could see them push for a decisive victory, making this match an intriguing contest for both teams.
