Bulgarian First League standings Ludogorets will host Botev Plovdiv on week 22 on Tuesday (19/02).

This will be Ludogorets’s first official match in 2019 after passing a fairly long winter holiday. So far, Ludogorets still top the Bulgarian League standings with a score of 52 points from 21 matches and 7 points adrift of CSKA Sofia in second place.

On the other hand, Botev Plovdiv himself has played first in 2019, where they managed to win a victory over Slavia Sofia in a postponed match that was held at the end of last week. The victory made Botev now ranked 4th in the temporary class with a score of 38 points.

Ludogorets themselves have only suffered 1 defeat in the Bulgarian League this season and the defeat they suffered in the third week ago over Lokomotiv Plovdiv with a score of 0-1 at the Ludogorets Arena. That means, Ludogorets have missed the last 18 games without defeat. In 18 matches Ludogorets recorded 15 wins and 3 draws.

On the other hand, Botev Plovdiv has also performed quite well lately. The victory over Slavia Sofia at the end of last week was their 4th victory in the last 5 matches in the league, while the remaining 1 was a defeat from CSKA Sofia with a score of 2-1 in the last match of 2018. This record is a pretty good capital for Botev Plovdiv when challenging Ludogorets at his own headquarters.

Ludogorets itself has never lost in the last 5 meetings against Botev Plovdiv. However, Ludogorets must remember that in the last 3 Ludogorets Arena clashes, Botev managed to steal 1 victory and 1 draw.

Our Prediction: 1

Odds: 1.38
