Pirin will welcome the guests at Hristo Botev Stadium in Blagoevgrad, and the match is at 21:00 Bulgarian time. In no case can it be said that Prince has played poorly since the beginning of the 2021-2022 season, being close to a point in both games, especially in the match with Beroe, where they led minutes before the end, but eventually lost by 3 : 2, and with Botev Plovdiv, again the difference was not striking and with a score of 2: 1 they lost to Plovdiv and so there is no point won. Here at my stadium I expect the mobilization of the home team and a fight at least for a point, and why not for the first victory.

CSKA 1948 also did not start well. In the derby with CSKA Sofia they lost 4: 2 in one match with many positions and goals, followed by a loss from Ludogorets, but with the rookie in Efbet League Lokomotiv Sofia they managed to win a point and so from 3 matches, with a point they are in 11th place in the championship.I predict a home win or draw in this game.

Prediction – home win or draw – 1.35 from 22bet

The hosts have gained experience in recent years and together with the sponsorship of Efbet, are already applying for a place among the top teams in Bulgaria. Last season the hosts finished 5th, 3 points behind the 4th Arda, and this season I think again that they will fight for the top places. The start was not convincing, considering that they failed to take a point from the first two matches, but still they were against the champion Ludogorets and the third CSKA Sofia. Coach Kiselichkov has a choice of a large number of prosperous players from which to assemble the starting lineup, and again we are expected to rely on Ivaylo Chochev in the front lines, who scored twice against his famous rival CSKA Sofia in the 1st round of Efbet league.

Lokomotiv Sofia returned to the Bulgarian Premier League, entering for the first time after 6 years of absence. This came after a 4-1 victory away to September Simitli in a match of the 32nd round of the Second League last season. The Railwaymen have already played their first match, beating Plovdiv Lokomotiv 1-0, as it happened in the fifth minute, with a goal by Lopala. which was signed after a great assist by Buchmidi. However, Plovdiv stood better on the field, with more positions and managed to press the opponent, but no goal was scored.

Prediction – both teams to score –  4.70 from 22bet

CSKA 1948 is in 5th place, leading over Beroe, but at the same time it would be difficult to qualify for the places entitling to participate in Euro tournaments. However, we can say that the season was successful and the players of coach Todor Kiselichkov got valuable points from teams like Loko Plovdiv and CSKA. Against their famous opponent, they won 1-0, and against the Smurfs drew. In their last 5 matches, CSKA 1948 has not lost, and the team has a solid defense. Here, however, we can look at the statistics and see that despite the fact that they often do not concede a goal, they know how to score. In a match against Botev they made 5:0, and against Slavia and Etar 5:1, results which show that the team manages to score quite a few goals.

Ludogorets are still in high spirits and will probably come out with confidence in this match of champions. the team leads firmly in the standings, as the difference with the 2nd is 10 points. Lokomotiv Plovdiv and CSKA tried to catch up with Razgrad during the season, but this did not happen and in this match, the guests will play quite freely, without pursuing great ambitions, but rather to beat the team. In our matches so far with CSKA 1948, we see results such as 4:0 and 3:0 in favor of Razgrad, which leads to the conclusion that they play successfully against them and have not even conceded a goal in both games this season. We had mentioned above about the good defense of the hosts, but against Ludogorets this obviously does not happen and the attackers easily reach goal positions and score quite a few goals. Ludogorets have not very stable defense, which is evident from the results in recent matches but compensates with great strikers who know how to score, so I expect more than 2 goals in this match.

Prediction – over 2.5 – 1.82 from 22bet

A few days after the semifinal with Arda finished 0: 0, Slavia is looking for its first victory and valuable three points in the fight to stay in the Efbet League, and according to midfielder Mikhail Alexandrov, this will be the main goal of the Whites this season, not winning the Cup. Slavia is in 12th place in the standings with 19 points as much as Montana and will try to get closer and take at least 10th place, where Botev Plovdiv is currently, which has 24 points. The difference is 5 points, but there are still enough matches and Slavia may be able to save and play next season in the Efbet League.

CSKA 1948 is performing well this season, as the team made strong matches and won points against teams such as Beroe, Levski Sofia, Botev Plovdiv this year, and last year managed to win as a guest strong Cherno more, and also ended in a draw with Lokomotiv Plovdiv. CSKA 1948 showed that it has the potential to be in the Bulgarian Professional Football League and at the moment I think they will try to do everything possible and win as many points as possible and consolidate a place in the top six. CSKA 1948 is in 6th place with 31 points from 22 games and immediately after Cherno more team with 29 points, so the fight is really serious for the 6th place in the league standings.

During the winter break, some changes were made, and currently, the coach is Rosen Kirilov and he will make his debut today, trying to take victory in his first match at the head of the team. One of the first team players, Georgi Rusev, remains at CSKA 1948 now, but rumors have surfaced that Botev Plovdiv is interested in a transfer, so we will find out in the future whether the player will stay or go to the Canaries. The match is at 19:30 today at the Slavia stadium, and regarding the prediction, I think that both teams will score a goal in this match.

Prediction –  away win with odd 1.918 from 22bet
