Preview A PFG - 18 round - Saturday Matches

 

Pirin GD - Lyubimets - 1 - 2.10 - 6/10 - MarathonBet - A number of problems in both of the teams. The financial situation is really bad and it is not sure their participation in the league until the end of the season. Lyubimets resign contracts with 4 players from the first team due to unpaid salaries for 3 months - Ilia Munin, Yanko Angelov, Samir Aias and Tanko Dyakov. Almost the whole team who promote the team from B group last season is not in the team right now. Earlier this season another 6 players contracts were resigned and the team is now full with young players from academy without experience. Gotse Delchev have 2 doubtfull players for this match - Abdi Abdikov (GK) and Martin Gaziev (M), while Mario Bliznakov will be in the lineup. Vasil Panayotov is suspended. I see big battle and ugly match here, but Pirin could make their second win for the season.

Cherno More - Beroe - skip - I see under 2.5 goals here but the odds are really low and there is no value. Two defensive-orientated teams are playing and I see match with 2 goals maximum. 0 : 0 at the half time looks good here for around 2.30. Ofcourse one mistake could kill this bet, but the odds for under 1 are really low too.

 

Ludogorets - Lokomotiv Pld - over 2.5 goals - 5/10 - 2.00 - Bet365 - Ludogorets is the best team in the championship no doubt. Now they are facing Loko Pld who are playing atractive football and the value here is in over. If the away team scores one goal it could be very easy. Ludogorets qualify for the next round of the Europa League after amazing performance untill the moment, but their attention is still there. Next week Dutch grand PSV is coming in Bulgaria and this is the main topic, because this is very ambitious project and Ludogorets need to make points for the next season in Champions League. Valter Misidjan was valued 3 mln. euro from the owner of the club to decrease the interest in him. The captaion of Ludogorets - Svetoslav Dyakov(DM) is injured, while one of the best players Martin Kamburov (ST, Loko Pd) hasn`t  scored in last 4 games and could be back on track here.

Levski - Litex - 1 - 2.30 - Marathon Bet - preview

Levski Sofia - Litex Lovech - 1 - 2.30 - MarathonBet - 8/10

Levski Sofia are hosting Litex Lovech in searching of a 4-th consecutive win in this derby. Derby from last 15 years, when Litex were pumped in with money. Now the situation is a little bit different and the "oranges" from Lovech are relying to their youth academy and their squad is full with young players, who are playing very good football. I don`t remember worse results at "Georgi Asparuhov" stadium for Levski in the near 15 years, but now everything in the club is ready to reply. The hot prospect of Levski, Antonio Vutov is back in the group and could play in the second half.

Expected lineups:

Levski - Iliev, Mulder, D. Dimov, Angelov, Pinto, Gadjev, Starokin, Pl. Dimov (Kevin Bru), L. Toure, Rodriguez, Genkov

Litex - Alexandrov, Popov, Bodurov, Bojikov, Nedyalkov, Tsvetkov, Slavchev, Vayushi, Djazula, Tsvetanov, Jordan

Levski are celebrating 100 years in 2014 and they still have chances for the title, because the championship will be divided to two halfs. Nobody really believes that Litex could be title contenders in the end of the season. In 19 matches in Sofia, Levski have 11 wins and just 2 loses.

I really rate the odds for Levski win highly here and except from them to win this match.
Probable results : 2 : 0/1
