① Spartak Varna should control midfield and exploit home advantage.

② Montana will look to defend but could be overwhelmed.

③ Clean sheet for Varna is plausible in a tighter contest.

① Botev Plovdiv should capitalize on away chances.

② Montana will aim to spoil the visitors' flow but may fall short.

③ A tight, low-scoring contest is likely.
