Command Analysis

Ludogorets Razgrad

Current form
Ludogorets has not given away the Bulgarian First League title since 2012, and everything is moving towards another trophy. The hosts are confidently in first place in the championship standings, eight points ahead of their closest pursuer in the person of Levski. At the same time, the team from Razgrad does not often win the national cup. For example, last season it was not possible to keep this trophy - the Eagles lost to today's opponent. Not so long ago, Igor Yovichevich's team took revenge on Botev by beating the Plovdiv club in the battle for the Super Cup with a score of 3:2. That match turned out to be quite difficult for the hosts - they managed to score the winning goal only in stoppage time.
Disqualifications and injuries
The hosts have no losses in the squad on the eve of the cup match.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has lost only one of the last five matches.
- In the last seven matches, the hosts have never managed to defend to zero
Approximate composition: Bonmann - Gropper, Nedyalkov, Almeida, Kurtulos - Pedro Naressi - Cayo Vidal, Petrovsky, Chochev, Rusev - Biele

Botev Plovdiv

Current form
Botev did not achieve a decent result in the championship last season, finishing only in ninth place, but he managed to perform super well in the national cup. The Plovdiv team reached the final, where they managed to beat today's opponent with a score of 3:2. In the Super Bowl match, the guests managed to impose a fight on Ludogorets, but in the end they lost with the same score. After that, Dusan Kerkezh's team did not play well in the national championship either - a draw with the main outsider of the league, Hebar (1:1), as well as dry defeats from the middleweights, Spartak (0:1) and CSKA Sofia (0:3). Botev himself is still in fourth place in the First League and only one point behind Cherno More.
Disqualifications and injuries
The guests have no problems with the squad on the eve of the cup match.
Interesting betting trends

Approximate composition: Bernat - Baloyannis, Amofa, Tamm, Minkov - Karabelov, Korosets - Akere, Popov, Ukaki - Maras

2.47Tip and bets
The hosts are unlikely to be eliminated from the cup so early, besides Ludogorets won the last two home matches, and Botev has not won since last year. At the same time, we would not have counted on a major victory for the favorite - the team from Razgrad has not won for a long time with a difference of more than one goal, and the guests give battle to the opponent in almost every match. We suggest considering an option with a plus handicap on the underdog.
Our betting tip is an Asian handicap (+1.5) for Botev Plovdiv in 1.65
Bet on the total
Fun football is rarely seen at such stages of cup competitions, but almost all the matches between today's rivals turned out to be extremely productive, including the final of the last cup draw, as well as the match for the Super Cup. We think that this time the leaders of Bulgarian football will not disappoint the audience and will present an unforgettable spectacle.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 2.5 goals in 1.75
The first half bet
In four of Ludogorets' last five matches, the first half ended in a draw. We think that the guests will have enough strength to fend off the attacks of the hosts and finish the first half with an equal score.
Our betting tip is a draw in the first half at 2.55
