Command Analysis

Arda Kardzhali

Current form
Arda has been close to the leading positions of the Bulgarian championship for a long time and this season it may well surprise, because only five points separate them from the four strongest hosts. At the moment, Arda occupies the sixth place in the standings and is only one point behind the fifth Beroe, with a match in reserve. Unfortunately, the year 2025 began bleakly for the Kardzhali team. First, there were three defeats in a row in friendly games, then a series without wins in the championship. Alexander Tunchev's team managed to draw with Spartak (2:2) and Slavia (1:1) on their own field, and lost to CSKA Sofia (0:2) on the road. The hosts suffered another defeat from the army in the cup (1:2) and were eliminated from the tournament.
Disqualifications and injuries
Gustavo Cascardo's appearance on the field is questionable.
Interesting betting trends
- The team hasn't won seven matches in a row.
- On their own field, the hosts lost only one match out of 17.
Approximate composition: Gospodinov - Tsonev, Eboa Eboa, Viacki, Velev - Idowu, Yusein - Ivanov, Yordanov, Wielkowski - Offor

CSKA 1948

Current form
CSKA 1948 finished in seventh place last season, and then won a ticket to the Conference League in the playoffs. There, the Sofia team managed to beat the Montenegrin team in extra time, but then still crashed out of the tournament, losing to the Cypriot Pathos. From the Cypriots, the Army team managed to concede three goals in extra time. The guests are not performing as well in the national championship as they did last season. The club occupies only 11th place in the standings and is three points away from 14th Krumovgrad. Like today's opponent, CSKA mostly lost in friendly matches in 1948. The first match of the championship ended in defeat after a break - 1-4 from Sofia Lokomotiv. Then Borislav Kjosev's team managed to pull themselves together and scored points in the confrontations with Slavia (1:1) and Botev from Vratsa (1:0).
Disqualifications and injuries
Emil Tsenov will miss the match due to too many yellow cards.
Interesting betting trends
- The team has won only one of the last seven matches.
- The club has scored one goal in each of the last four matches.
Approximate composition: Marinov - Ivanov, Daskalov, Acheampong - Boychev, Vitanov, Jonathan, Furtado - Kirilov - Serdyuk, Karagaren

2.33Tip and bets
The hosts have not won for a long time, but they are regularly gaining points on their own field. Arda has drawn the last two home matches, and it's time to win. CSKA 1948 has also not shown outstanding results lately, so it's quite difficult to believe in their success. We suggest giving preference to the team from Kardzhali.
Our betting tip is that Arda will win in 1.85
Bet on the total
The hosts have not pleased their fans with victories for a long time, so the Kardzhali club will obviously not play for a draw. The team's results in the first half of the season show that the home team's players are capable of upsetting rivals such as CSKA 1948. At the same time, it is worth noting that playing defense is not Arda's strong suit, so the guests will certainly be able to find their moment to score a goal. We believe that the rivals will delight the audience with their high performance.
Our betting tip is a total of more than 2.5 goals in 2.00
The first half bet
We do not expect that the opponents will move forward with great strength immediately after the kickoff. It will obviously take time to take a closer look at each other. In this scenario, a draw is likely based on the results of the first half.
Our betting tip is a draw in the first half at 2.10
