- Head-to-head: Ludogorets have failed to win any of their last 3 trips to Cherno More.
- Home stats: Cherno More average 0.00 goals per home game and concede 3.00 in Parva Liga 2026/2027.
- Home form: Cherno More are without a win at home in Parva Liga 2026/2027 (W0, D0, L1).
Cherno More are in a spot
PFC Cherno More Varna have had a tough start to the new Parva Liga season, losing their last two consecutive matches to slide down the table to 11th place. Ilian Iliev's side went down 3-0 at home to Spartak Varna and followed that up with a 1-0 defeat away to Botev Plovdiv 1912.
The visitors will be hoping to make a statement this weekend, as they sit in second with nine points from their opening three matches. They come into this having won their last home game 2-1 against Botev Vratsa, which followed a 2-0 away win at Dunav Ruse and a 2-2 draw with Hapoel Tel-Aviv in UEFA Conference League qualifying.
Ludogorets have been excellent on the road in the Parva Liga this season, unbeaten after one match and averaging 2.00 goals. Thomas Reis' Ludogorets are a work in progress as he has only been in charge since July 2026, but his proactive, pressing style has already seen the team control games and win the ball back in advanced positions much faster.
Ludogorets to edge a close contest
Head-to-head & odds
The H2H record is tied across the last five games (W1, D3, L1) and Sunday's hosts may be able to make it tough for Ludogorets. However, there are many reasons to fancy the away team here, with odds of 1.99 for the visiting side a good deal considering Cherno More are 3.79 and the draw is 3.25.
Tactics
Cherno More are a typical structure-first team, sitting in a compact block and looking to nick goals on the counter. Ludogorets press high and play vertically, so this game could be a typical low-block vs high-tempo affair.
Prediction
We think Ludogorets should edge this, but Cherno More's home base and the recent H2H history suggests they will make it difficult and it won't be a walkover.
- Under 2.5 goals at 1.62 fits the matchup well, as does Both Teams to Score – No at 1.76.
- Bernard Tekpetey will be the spark for the away side, as he has scored three of Ludogorets' seven goals across the last five matches.
