- Team form: PFC Levski Sofia are unbeaten in their last 4 home matches (all-competitions, W3, L1).
- Head-to-head: FC Dunav Ruse have not won their last away match against Levski and the home team are heavy favorites to win.
- Betting angles: Both Teams to Score – No and Under 2.5 match goals are the top bets.
Levski are on a mission in the Parva Liga 2026-2027
Match odds and recent form
Levski Sofia enter as overwhelming favorites at 1.1, which tells you all you need to know about the gulf in class between the teams. However, the draw is priced at 7.5 which makes little sense at all in this matchup, although the market-makers clearly have the home win as the only viable option.
Form, defence and style
JULIO VELAZQUEZ'S Levski side have been involved in some mixed form in recent matchups, winning only 1, drawing 3 and losing 1 of their last 5 (W1, D3, L1). However, a 2-0 home win against PFC CSKA Sofia in a derby and a 1-1 draw with FK Borac Banjaluka in UEFA Champions League Qualification 2026 suggest that they are difficult to break down. Levski have conceded an average of just 0.25 goals per-match at home, another reason for the hosts being big favorites here.
Juan Perea is the man to watch for Levski as he has scored 2 of their 4 goals in the last 5 matchups. Levski play a possession-first, build-from-the-back style of soccer, with wide players and front-foot pressing designed to pin teams back and stop them from coming on in numbers. Their defense has been rock solid at home recently, which gives us confidence to take the BTTS-No market at 1.41.
Dunav are in for a rough night at Georgi Asparuhov
Dunav are a difficult side to beat, but they are not ruthless enough to get the win on their own merit.
Lukanov sets his team up compactly, with a low block and direct outlets and they're built for survival, not possession. The head-to-head record is one-way traffic, with Levski winning the last 2 meetings, including a 1-0 victory in the Bulgarian Cup 2024/2025.
- EMANUIL LUKANOV'S side have won 2, drawn 5 and lost only 3 of their last 10 matchups (all-competitions, W2, D5, L3).
- They have won 1, drawn 3 and lost 2 of their last 6 on the road in all-competitions, so they can make a game of it, but they're likely to leave enough opportunities for Levski to capitalize on.
- Dunav's last 5 matches have yielded 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats, including a 1-0 loss at home to FC Yantra Gabrovo and a 2-1 win away to PFC Minyor Pernik.
Siding with the favourites in the draw market
This looks like a classic possession versus low-block matchup and Levski have the ability to control the pace, while Dunav will look to cling on and pounce on set piece or transition moments. Levski are in far superior form and should have enough to break Dunav down, but they're not going to cut loose and it won't be a goal-fest.
The best way to make money on this is in the Both Teams to Score – No market, and we're siding with the hosts to control the matchup, get the job done and secure 3 points at the final whistle.
