Botev Plovdiv vs Maribor Prediction: 11/7/2024

Botev Plovdiv will face Maribor at Stadion Hristo Botev in an intriguing Europa League qualifier. Although Botev Plovdiv have yet to start their Bulgarian Premier League season, their pre-season performances have been promising, giving fans hope for their Europa League campaign. New addition Nikola Iliev is expected to be a significant threat to the opposition’s defense.

Maribor, on the other hand, recently secured a victory against CSKA 1948 Sofia in a friendly match. However, defeating Botev Plovdiv on their home turf will be a challenging task. We anticipate a closely contested match in Plovdiv, with a draw seeming like a likely outcome. Botev Plovdiv’s defenders will need to be on their guard against Algeria striker El Arbi Soudani, who scored 16 goals in the national championship last season.

Prediction: 1-1
