Botev Plovdiv and Maribor square off against each other at Stadion Hristo Botev in what is expected to be an interesting Europa League qualifier. Botev Plovdiv have yet to kick off the new Bulgarian Premier League campaign, but their displays in pre-season are surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the Europa League challenges. New signing Nikola Iliev is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line.

The Violets, on the other hand, defeated CSKA 1948 Sofia in their last friendly game, but beating Botev on the road is easier said than done. A close encounter is on the horizon in Plovdiv and we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Botev Plovdiv defenders should have experience Algeria striker El Arbi Soudani at bay as the former Dinamo Zagreb man scored 16 goals in the national championship last term.
