Botev are in a difficult situation. Their team is falling apart and the question is what squad they will use. They have lost their entire attacking line from last year and their main forward is 34-year-old-Tsetkov, whose career is drawing to a close and who didn't play at all last year. Even when they had players like Hamza, Anicet, Dore and Vander, their games were rarely goal-fests. In addition, this game is not played at their home stadium but in a far-off Burgas, so we shouldn't expect too big fan support. The Bulgarians are at the start of their preparations, they will try to win this without embarrassing themselves but I doubt they can win this by a convincing margin. Libertas played against Sarajevo last year (1-2, 0-1) and they showed they can do alright if their opponents are not at 100%. I think they won't risk too much but will park the bus in order to get a good result. They would gladly accept this a 1-0,2-0 or even 3-0 defeat, and I don't think the Bulgarians would mind that either. Libertas's games in San Marino are low-scoring affairs and they will have a hard time scoring here as well. Botev don't seem like a team that can score 4-5 goals against a motivated opponent.
