The coach of Plovdiv team "Botev" Mikola Kirov revealed his expectations before the upcoming match against "Cherno More" in the second round of the First League. In an official statement to the club's website, the specialist shared his expert assessment of the challenge.

"We have an extremely difficult competition with one of the most productive and consistent teams in Bulgarian football. They fully deserve to participate in European club tournaments," Kirov emphasized.

The coach emphasized the good preparation during the past week, defining collective work as a priority. "I expect an extremely contested match, in which we can achieve a positive result," the specialist added.

Regarding "Cherno More's" participation in the Conference League, Kirov is categorical that European commitments will not significantly affect their performance. "At the beginning of the championship, such international matches rather help teams enter a competitive rhythm," he added.

The match between "Cherno More" and "Botev" is scheduled for Sunday at 19:45 at the "Tича" stadium.
