BulgariaCurrent form
Botev Vratsa was already in danger of relegation last season, finishing 14th in the table.

In the playoffs, the visitors were drawn against Marek, who they only managed to beat in a penalty shootout. This season, the situation is not much different, and the team is again 14th in the table.

2.55Tip and bets
The hosts have been in excellent shape in recent matches and are currently not losing points at all, so it is difficult to expect the club to stumble in a match with an outsider. Botev managed to break the winless streak, but still looks quite weak. Most likely, the visitors will not have enough skill to take points from Arda. In our opinion, the home team will get three points.
Our prediction is Arda victory at 1.65
Bet on total
The visitors are acting rather poorly in defense, even in the last victorious match the team from Vratsa missed two goals. We think that the hosts will be able to take advantage of the opponent weakness in defense, and we will see a productive match.
Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals with odds of 2.25
Bet on corners
The chaos in the defensive line does not lead to a positive result. We believe that in a face-to-face match there will be many failures in their penalty areas and thanks to this they will make a decent number of passes from the corner flag.
Our prediction is total over 8.5 corners with odds of 1.80
