Botev Plovdiv vs APOEL: Top Free Betting Tips

Apoel's struggles continued in the previous season after the team was a champion for 5+ consecutive years in the past decade. They will not play in the Champions league for another season but the ECL is still an option. Here are our predictions for this match.

Total Goals – Over 2.5

Botev Plovdiv are not a typical high-scoring team but they did have a really strong season at home in the past year and scored a bunch of goals in most of their home games. Apoel is a stronger team, no doubt, and they have been having goal-packed games week after week, so we have no doubts that they will score in this fixture. Bulgarian teams are usually not great on the international stage, so Apoel will have chances to score more than once too.

Draw No Bet – Apoel

Botev Plovdiv might have been great in the previous season but they had issues with players and the new campaign in Bulgaria started with two consecutive defeats. Moreover, those two recent defeats in the first two rounds were against two of the weakest teams in the league. They seem completely out of shape and we think that Apoel will not lose this match. Yet, the draw is highly possible, so we pick the Draw No Bet option.

Both Teams To Score – Yes

As mentioned above, we expect to see goals in this match and hopefully from both teams. Apoel might have not been on the same level we are used to seeing them but they still have a stronger squad and should be able to score goals. Botev are the underdogs but their home performances were strong and we expect them to put up a fight.

Botev Plovdiv Preview

Botev Plovdiv are not among the top teams in Bulgaria usually but the previous campaign was a surprisingly strong one. They finished in 3rd place but their goal difference is shockingly low – 34:28 in 26 rounds. It has already become apparent that the team is not on the same level as the previous season and they will not be as successful. Nobody expects them to even reach the group stage of the ECL and Apoel is a serious first challenge.

Apoel Nicosia Preview

Until about 2-3 years ago, Apoel were the most dominant team in Cyprus and were winning the championship every season. The last few years have been a struggle and the team usually ends in 3-4th place. They finished in 3rd last season and had big problems in defense. Their goal difference after 32 games was 48:41. They should still be able to deal with Botev Plovdiv but it depends on this first match.
