The first game that I like is Beroe v Lokomotiv Plovdiv.
This looks like a reasonable home win to me. Beroe played two away games so far, lost both against Slavia and Levski in Sofia, but this doesn't mean much. The team has some ambitions for this season and should win most of the matches in Stara Zagora.
Loko Plovdiv ain't that bad, but rarely bother to play good when travelling away from home.
So at odds over 1.80 I'm taking Beroe 4/10. Thank you.

1.20 is really nice price for Lokomotiv Sofia at home against Marek. This will be a home win also. Maybe with a single goal only, but home win. Lokomotiv are supposed to be one of the contenders for the title and Marek are full s**t. I'd take it at 1.20 in an accum.

Pirin should win against Botev at home and CSKA should beat Spartak Varna, but the odds are too short for both games.

The most interesting game that weekend is, no doubt, Litex v Levski. More about it later.

I'm leaving the rest of the games alone as they are definitely no bets for me.

Hot the f*** can I remove the tags?

So, Litex - Levski will be a game between teams that would like to win, but will desperately want not to lose.
In the first round Litex drew 1:1 at home with the other big favourite CSKA and after that lost surprisingly against Vihren Sandanski.
Levski won away against the same Vihren in the first round and beat Beroe at home, both games 1:0. Levski is still in the shock of dropping off Champion's league in the 2nd round against Tampere. The players find it hard to get motivated, but that game could turn their season over.
Litex are doing really well in Europe, but have big ambititons in the domestic competitions also.

Mathes in Lovech tend to be very tight, here is some h2h:

Levski Sofia Lovech Liteks 1:1 07.03.2004
Lovech Liteks Levski Sofia 0:0 31.08.2003

Bulgarian 1st league 2002/2003
Levski Sofia Lovech Liteks 3:0 06.04.2003
Lovech Liteks Levski Sofia 3:0 22.09.2002

Bulgarian local bookie offers 2.45 2.80 2.35 for that game (don't laugh).
So, some might say the value goes with Litex. Yes 3.48 for home win offered by 10bet is quite big, but I wouldn't bother myself with 1-X-2 betting for that game. In fact I expect draw here.
Under 2.5 is the most likely bet and 1.72 from 10bet is good price, but I'm staying away from that market.
So maybe I'll settle with Litex +0.25, small bet but it will be hard for Levski in Lovech.

[engineer]

Mmmm, Expekt gives 2.20 for Beroe Stara Zagora and Sportingbet 2.10. I'll have more of that, thank you. The stake is now 5.5/10.

So, thats from me, I'm leaving the thread to you and go spend the weekend fishing

[Peter Orchard]

Good stuff, engineer, have a nice weekend.
Why do I always think of some British pop singer from the 70\80s whenever I think of Lovech Liteks?
Anyone help?

[smk415]

makes me think of "linda lovelace"

[kompressaur]

Lena Lovich i believe you could be thinking of Peter. Its spelt wrong but it was her that was the lead singer of ....errr.....My Lucky Numbers one ..actually i think she was in the Flying Lizards

how did engineer's picks go out of interest?

Well, I like Serb music, but I haven't heard of Lena Lovich. Yes, it sounds like Litex Lovech definitely.

My main pick Beroe to beat Loko Plovdiv lost, it finished 0:0 and Beroe wasted some good chances to score a goal. They have some problems out of the pitch and I got a bit screwed. Anyway I still think it was a good bet.

Litex beat Levski 2:1 with a 92-minute winner and that bet came in. Litex played very solid football and Levski is in crisis.

Here are all the results:

Slavia Sofia - Cherno More Varna	3:1
Lovech Liteks - Levski Sofia	2:1
Belasica Petrich - Vihren Sandanski	1:0
Vidima-Rakovski Sevlievo - Chernomorets Burgas	1:1
Spartak Varna - CSKA Sofia	0:2
Pirin 1922 Blagoevgrad - Botev Plovdiv	1:0
Lokomotiva Sofia - Marek Dupnica	2:0
Beroe Stara Zagora - Lokomotiv Plovdiv	0:0

Aye well is there is ever any bulgarian football to talk about on the net engineer your the man to ask. If you want some Lene Lovich then here she is. i used to squeeze one out over her back then when i was a kid. Seing as its a Wank Holiday in Brtitain today (it is, its a terrible practise and no cause to celebrate imo) I'll go and see if she still does it to me. She wasnt in Flying Lizards btw



thanks for the scores engineer.

[kompressaur]

Sorry for being crude here but she looks good at blow jobs doesn't she?

[Peter Orchard]

Lena Lovitch it is.
and the Singing Nun and Milly.
Musical legends all coming back to me now.

Well done Komp.
