Botev Vratsa vs Etar tips and predictions

Botev Vratsa are tough to beat

There are 5 points separating the two clubs as 15th place Botev Vratsa get set to host 16th place Etar.

Without much to go on, it's a cautious view this time. It's hard to see anything but a home win but their short price is nothing to get excited about. It's just that Etar aren't likely to have enough form to pull off the upset.

Botev Vratsa will certainly like what they see in front of them. Adversities have gradually been building up for this away squad over their last 17 fixtures. They've been beaten 12 times in that period. They're likely to suffer a defeat here too.

The home defence has looked impregnable at times. They'll see this as an opportunity to keep a clean sheet; they are only conceding an average of 0.7 goals over their last 3 games. While the hosts have weathered the recent storms, they're facing an outfit that has been stretched in defence. Etar have conceded two or more goals in 11 of their last 15 assignments. And when scoring chances have beckoned, the visitors have looked a little timid on occasions. They've been goalless in 9 of their last 11 away matches.

You'll know who has the edge from the previous meetings. Botev Vratsa have won 4 of the last 8 fixtures between the two teams.

Botev Vratsa are justifiable favourites and it's possible they just don't give anything away. The No BTTS bet seems fair.
