They are 5th in the 2026/2027 edition of the Parva Liga after a 1-1 draw away to Botev Vratsa but they were also edged 2-3 by Arda Kardzhali at home in the last round of the previous Parva Liga - Conference League Group 2026.
Spartak Varna are 6th in the same 2026/2027 edition of the league after a 2-2 home draw with CSKA 1948. They are, however, stronger on the win than Cherno More coming into this derby with 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 defeat across their last five across all formats. They have beaten Lokomotiv Sofia 3-0 at home and Montana 1921 2-0 away in the 2026 version of the Bulgarian Parva Liga - Relegation Group.
Spartak's edge is their edge
Gjokica Hadzievski has been in charge of Spartak since July 2025, while Ilian Iliev has led Cherno More since December 2017. And while both teams are well-drilled, Hadzievski's side look sharper in transition and a bit more aggressive in phases. Cherno More line up in a 4-2-3-1 formation and build their play from the back, with full-backs providing width and an overlapping option. Spartak are a bit more direct, playing either a 4-2-3-1 or 4-1-4-1 formation, they play with width, can overload half-spaces and are very capable of hurting the opposition on the fast break. So midfield domination and tempo will be a big part of this game and that's why this game is going to be tight. The head-to-head record is 3 wins to 0 for Cherno More and 2 draws in the last 5 meetings. The 0-0 draw in Varna during the 2025/2026 edition of the Parva Liga shows how this can be a tense affair and it's probably a game where the home side gets the edge in the end. PFC Cherno More Varna vs PFC Spartak Varna prediction suggests a narrow home advantage, and Cherno More have W2, D0 and L1 at home across their recent matches so it's not all rosy for Cherno More at the Ticha, but the fortress vibes are still there. The most likely game flow in this clash of styles is for a tight PFC Cherno More Varna vs PFC Spartak Varna prediction and another low-scoring derby grind.
