Cherno More Varna vs Septemvri Sofia

Cherno More Varna enters this fixture following a difficult run, having failed to secure a win in their last three First League outings, including a recent home loss to Levski Sofia. Their attacking output has been limited, with four goals scored across their six listed matches, and they have conceded eleven in that same span. In contrast, Septemvri Sofia has faced significant defensive challenges, conceding twelve goals in their last six matches while recording four losses. Their only league victory in that period came back in August against CSKA 1948. Both teams have struggled to maintain clean sheets, as the hosts have managed just one in their last six matches, a record matched by the visitors over the same number of fixtures.

The history between these two sides heavily favors the home side, with Cherno More Varna remaining unbeaten in their four most recent meetings. Cherno More Varna has secured three victories during this period, with the only blemish on that record being a draw in September 2025.

• Cherno More Varna has struggled to score in the second half, netting only once across their recent matches while conceding four.
• Septemvri Sofia has conceded heavily in the second half of their matches, allowing nine goals in that period.
• Both teams enter the fixture with an identical break of thirteen days since their last competitive match.
• Septemvri Sofia has found it difficult on the road, with only one win in their five most recent away fixtures.

Given the historical dominance of Cherno More Varna in this fixture and their opponent's struggles away from home, the hosts appear to have the edge. While both teams have found wins hard to come by recently, Septemvri Sofia's defensive record in the second half could prove decisive. A competitive encounter is expected, but the advantage leans toward the hosts finding a way to secure a result.
