  -  
Ludogorets Ludogorets
Under 2.5 goals
1,70
Short reason
Meetings between these sides have been very tight, with under 2.5 goals landing in each of the last six.

Lokomotiv Plovdiv are in excellent form, unbeaten in their last six games and conceding just two goals during that run.

Ludogorets have also been defensively solid, keeping three clean sheets in their last four matches.

We expect another tight game with no more than two goals.

Levski Sofia Levski Sofia
First Half/Full Time - Away/Away
Half Time / Full Time bet is available at all bookmakers. We win when our team is leading at half time and wins the match in the end, for example 1-0 at half time and 1-0 final score. If our team is not leading at half time or doesn’t win the match – we lose.
1,72
Short reason
The quality gap here is significant, with Levski playing excellent football and looking for a response after the draw against Varna.

Levski are unbeaten in their last five games and will be looking to return to the top of the table.

Dunav Ruse have one of the league’s weakest defences and have collected just six points so far this season.

We expect Levski to show their quality from the first half and secure the win.

Short reason
CSKA are expected to apply pressure from the outset, while Slavia will likely sit in a deep block.

This was evident in the first meeting this season, when CSKA had 14 shots and 11 corners but Slavia held on for a 0-0 draw.

CSKA are in excellent form, unbeaten since the start of the season and top of the table.

How We Make Our Bulgaria First League Predictions

Bulgarian football has its own specifics. The gap between the strongest teams and the rest of the league can be significant, but that does not automatically make every favourite worth backing. Home advantage, the quality of the pitch, managerial changes and the importance of a particular match can all have a major influence.

 

For our Bulgaria First Professional League predictions, we combine that local knowledge with football statistics and recent results. We take a similar approach to our football predictions for today, which also cover matches from other major European leagues. We are not tied to one particular market either – depending on the match, the better option may be the match result, over/under 2.5 goals or another market where the price makes more sense.

How Reliable Are Our Bulgaria First League Predictions

We work with experienced football analysts who have followed the Bulgarian game for years. That does not guarantee future results, and no football prediction should ever be treated as certain.

 

What matters more is the process behind the prediction and the results over a larger number of bets. With sensible bankroll management and careful match selection, our aim is to identify the situations where the available odds justify taking the risk.

 

What is the format of the First League as of the 2026–27 season?

Bulgarian First League 2026/27 Format
Teams14
Regular season26 rounds
1st–4th placeChampionship group
5th–8th placeEuropean places group
9th–14th placeRelegation group
Current championsLevski

 

The 2026–27 season brought a major change to the structure of the Bulgarian league. The First League now consists of 14 teams, which play two matches against each other during the regular season – one at home and one away. This means there are 26 rounds before the playoffs begin.

 

After the regular season, the teams are divided into three groups based on their standings: the top four continue the battle for the title, the teams ranked 5th to 8th compete in the group for European cups spots, and those ranked 9th through 14th enter the relegation group.

 

This new format makes every point lost during the regular season more important. With 14 teams, the gaps between the different sections of the standings can widen more quickly, and once the teams are divided into groups, matches are played directly against rivals with similar goals.

Why the Bulgarian First League Is Interesting for Betting

The Bulgaria First Professional Football League is a relatively small competition, which means knowing the teams in detail can sometimes provide an advantage. Information about squad changes, coaching decisions or the condition of a particular club can matter more here than it would in a major European league where every development is covered immediately by hundreds of media outlets.

 

The 2026/27 season also introduced a new format, with 14 teams and 26 regular-season rounds before the play-offs. That makes every point more important and creates more direct matches between teams chasing the same objectives later in the season.

Who Are the Favourites for the Bulgarian First League Title

For many years, this section would have had a very simple answer – Ludogorets. They won 14 consecutive championships between 2011/12 and 2024/25 and established themselves as the dominant force in Bulgarian football.

 

That run finally ended in 2025/26, when Levski won their 27th league title.

 

Ludogorets remain one of the main contenders, but the title race can no longer be treated as a foregone conclusion. Levski have shown that the balance can change, while CSKA and the other clubs around the top positions can also influence how the championship develops.

Who Has Won the Most Bulgarian League Titles

Team League titles
CSKA31
Levski27
Ludogorets14
Slavia7

 

CSKA remain the most successful club in Bulgarian league history with 31 titles. Levski are second with 27, while Ludogorets are third with 14 after their remarkable run of consecutive championships. Slavia follow with seven.

 

The historical gap is still significant, but recent seasons show that current strength and historical success are two very different things.

Where to Bet on the Bulgarian First League

The Bulgarian league is well covered by local bookmakers, particularly on the main match markets. Efbet is one of the obvious options because of its strong connection with Bulgarian football and broad coverage of domestic matches.

That said, there is no reason to use the same bookmaker for every bet. Odds can differ from one operator to another, so comparing prices across different sports betting sites before placing a bet is always worth the extra minute.

Where to Watch Bulgarian First League Matches on TV and Online

Bulgarian First League matches are broadcast domestically on DIEMA SPORT, with online streaming available through PLAY DIEMA XTRA. Coverage includes regular-season fixtures, championship play-offs and relegation play-offs. For fans watching from outside Bulgaria, TV and streaming options may vary depending on local broadcasting rights and regional availability.
