CSKA 1948 vs Botev Vratsa Prediction and Betting Tips (21.02.2025)

Command Analysis

CSKA 1948

Bulgaria

Current form

CSKA 1948 has recently been playing in the Bulgarian top league, but has already achieved some success. For example, at the end of last season, the team managed to win a place in the qualifying stages of the Conference League. There, the hosts managed to pass the "Routine" from Podgorica (1:0 and 1:1), but they did not manage to pass the next round. The Cypriot Pathos got in the way of the army, which turned out to be stronger in extra time. The club has not been so successful in the championship so far and occupies only 11th place in the standings. The hosts are already seven points behind the top eight, so it is unlikely that they will be able to compete for the European Cup this time. Recently, the Army team drew with Slavia Sofia (1:1).

Disqualifications and injuries

Talis will not play because of too many yellow cards.

Interesting betting trends

The team has failed to win even once in the last six matches.
The club has scored one goal each in the last three matches.

Approximate composition: Marinov - Acheampong, Ivanov, Bidunga, Jonathan - Pischevich, Tsenov - Karagaren, Talis, Kirilov - Serdyuk

Botev Vratsa

Bulgaria

Current form

Last season, Botev Vratsa was extremely close to relegation from the Bulgarian top league, but managed to keep its registration in the division thanks to the victory in the play-off match. The club managed to beat Marek from the Second League with a score of 2:1. This season it will not be easy to get even into the joint zone, because so far the club occupies the penultimate place in the standings and is four points behind 14th-placed Lokomotiv Plovdiv. At the end of 2024, the guests suffered five consecutive defeats in the championship. In February, Botev managed to draw with Septemvri (2:2), but then they were defeated again, this time by Lokomotiv Sofia (0:3).

Disqualifications and injuries

Marc-Emilio Papazov will miss the match due to suspension.

Interesting betting trends

The team has not won in the championship for seven rounds in a row.
In four of the last six matches of the First League with the participation of Botev, there were deletions.

1.97handicap (-1) against CSKA 1948

Both teams have been scoring extremely rarely lately and are in terrible shape. Nevertheless, the hosts are considered the favorite, who can achieve victory due to home advantage and a stronger squad. The winless streak of CSKA in 1948 has already dragged on, and the match with the penultimate team in the league should bring the Sofia club a long-awaited victory.

1.82total more than 2.5 goals

Bet on the total

The fans of the teams obviously missed winning matches, so the players will try to show bright football in the face-to-face confrontation. Recently, the opponents have not been very disciplined in defense anyway, so it makes sense to bet on the attack, besides, a draw here probably won't suit anyone.

Our forecast is a total of more than 2.5 goals in 1.82

Betting on corners

The hosts will surely seize the initiative from the very beginning of the match and will put pressure on the opponent's defense until the final whistle, which should lead to an advantage not only in scoring, but also in other indicators, including corner kicks.

Our forecast is an Asian head start (-3.5) on corners at CSKA 1948 in 1.96
