Betting on football in Bulgaria

The capital, Sofia, has many teams, which means that there are lots of derbies. The most famous teams are CSKA and Levski — they are also the two most successful clubs.

Ludogorets has been one of the dominant forces in Bulgarian football for the last ten seasons. In 2010, the club was bought by a Bulgarian pharmaceutical entrepreneur Kiril Domuschiev. Following their introduction into the Bulgarian elite in 2011, Ludogorets Razgrad players have claimed every possible championship title.

In Europe, Bulgarian teams have not had much success for a long time. The best performance in the 2000s was when Levski Sofia reached the quarterfinal in the Europa League. Make bets on the Europa League; bwin is one of the main sponsors.

Bet on the Parva Liga

The first-division football league in Bulgaria is also known as the Parva Liga. Comprising 15 teams, the regular season runs from the July to the June of the following year.

Each team plays the other in a two-legged match during the normal season. Then, at the end of the season, the competition for trophies is divided into three parts: the teams that play for the title and the European places, and the third group who receive tickets to play in the Conference League playoffs.

At the season's end, at the bottom of the table, the competition is fierce to try and avoid relegation to the second division. The last team is automatically relegated, while the second to last team faces a play-off with the third to last. The second division is called Vtora Liga, and you can place bets on this football league on our online sports betting platform. Make your football bets now on all the leagues in the UEFA zone.

Recommended betting on Bulgarian football

The championship title is more or less sure to end in the hands of Ludogorets, who often finish as the best attacking side of the championship. Therefore, we recommend placing handicap bets on a victory of the team that wins the Parva Liga championship every year.

Another recommended bet is on home team wins. In the last few seasons, the win ratio of the team playing in their own stadium is close to 50%.
