Botev Vratsa and Spartak Varna meet in the league with both still searching for a win in their latest match, the hosts having just lost a friendly 1-2 while the visitors just lost in the league 0-1, so this game is a measure of two teams that need to get back to picking up points before the table starts to stretch. Botev Vratsa have collected 9 points from 10 matches, their attack still not sharp compared with a defence that has conceded 19 goals, while Spartak Varna have 10 points from 10 matches, scoring 10 and conceding 15, still without an away win in their last five, and clearly with less possession than their opponents overall. Spartak Varna are likely to sit back and wait to counter, feeding on the moments when Botev Vratsa push high and lose the ball in midfield. The game may not open up into an exchange from the start, but will be more about the visitors waiting for their moment. What to watch is how quickly Botev Vratsa can break down a deep-lying defence before the visitors get their first counter.
