NextGOAL tip: Arda -0.75 · 2 stars
A league game where Arda have a chance to take three points at home against Septemvri Sofia, a team struggling to escape the lower zone of the table. Both teams have just come through matches nobody won, but their situations in the table are clearly different: Arda sit 6th while their opponents are 14th. Arda have just drawn 1-1 at home in the league, and before that lost at home in unconvincing fashion. Septemvri Sofia, meanwhile, have lost several league games in a row, but a defence that has already conceded 23 goals in 12 matches is the spot opponents are looking to exploit. In this game Arda should have more of the ball and push higher up, while the visitors will likely have to sit deep and wait to counter. If Arda score first the game will open up even more, because Septemvri Sofia will have to come out and trade blows to chase the game. But if they cannot break through in the first half, the game could be tight and decided in the second half, which is the period when Arda tend to score more often.
