Slavia Sofia vs Ludogorets tips and predictions

Underdogs to test Ludogorets

There's not much between Slavia Sofia and Ludogorets in the Parva liga. The hosts are in third place with 14 points, compared to their opponents who are in first place on 15 points.

This isn't a confident view but the short price for Ludogorets makes them a no-bet. Slavia Sofia don't look likely to get the win but they might keep the visitors honest. Building on the strong rearguard performances of both sides, a goalless stalemate is the pick but it's certainly not something to get carried away with.

These sides have impressed at the back. In their last 3 matches Slavia Sofia have only conceded 0.7 goals, while Ludogorets have only conceded 0.6 goals per game on average in their last 5 away matches.

In previous matches in this head-to-head 4 of the last 8 have finished on level terms.

Ludogorets will want to further justify their short price with a clean sheet at full-time. It's not standout value but the No BTTS bet seems fair enough.

Slavia Sofia have drawn 5 of their last 14 matches, including their most recent match when they drew 1-1 with CSKA Sofia last week. Ludogorets have drawn 5 of their last 13 matches on the road. They shared the spoils with Midtjylland last Thursday. It's not the most exciting thing you'll read today and it feels like a match to keep at arm's length but the draw is food for thought. Deadlock is the pick after what will probably be a low-scoring affair.
