Pirin Blagoevgrad and Spartak Varna face each other on Monday afternoon in a match that ideally has no significance for either side.
The hosts had to play a relegation round last year to guarantee their stay in the Bulgarian top flight, and they have passed the test this year as well. Thanks to four points from their last two games, Hristo Yanev's men are six points clear of the last two places in the relegation round, which means they will stay in this division for at least another year.
Spartak Varna were promoted to Bulgaria's top flight last year after an impressive season in the second division, but have been unable to live up to expectations. With only 25 points from a total of 34 matches this season, the visitors are four points behind fourth-placed Hebar 1918 with just one match remaining.
Pirin Blagoevgrad vs Spartak Varna Betting Tips: Both teams to score
Although the visitors have had a poor season overall, they have improved in recent weeks. They come into this match on a run of four games without defeat. In three of those games, a bet on "both teams score = yes" was won.
Head coach Dimitar Dimitrov would certainly wish his side can extend this unbeaten streak at least or get a win on Monday to keep the momentum going ahead of the relegation play-offs.
Pirin rarely fail to score in home games. They have only failed to score in two of their last seven home games. Considering that both teams also scored in five of those games, we are selecting ‘BTTS’ for this game.
