These two meet often enough to count as familiar opponents, and they have traded wins back and forth. Their last meeting ended 0-0, but this time both teams are on an upturn in form, with CSKA 1948 Sofia sitting 4th and Botev Plovdiv right behind them in 5th, just three points apart. CSKA 1948 Sofia return home where they have done well, winning 5 of 6 at home and seeing both teams score in 5 of those 6 games, while Botev Plovdiv have won 5 in a row but are far less reliable away from home, losing 3 of 5 and failing to score in 2 of them. This game should open up early because both sides find the net at both ends often, but CSKA 1948 Sofia's first and second halves differ markedly: at home they average 0.63 goals in the first half but surge to 1.5 after the break. The game should stay tight in the first half before opening up in the second.
