Arda Kardzhali — Cherno More : Match Preview and Prediction for September 22,2025

Arda’s European Aspirations and Domestic Form

Last season, Arda displayed an exceptionally strong performance. Surprisingly, the team from Kardzhali managed to qualify for the Europa Conference League qualifiers, where they even overcame several genuinely tough opponents. However, they were ultimately unable to advance to the group stage.

Home Strength and Recent Recovery

Nevertheless, it was very encouraging to witness such a showing from the squad. Arda kept clean sheets at home against both HJK and Kauno Žalgiris. In the domestic league, problems began to surface amidst their European campaign, largely due to a demanding schedule and insufficient squad rotation. Despite this, the team suffered only three defeats. Furthermore, Arda’s home record is outstanding, remaining undefeated with minimal goals conceded. They also managed to regain their composure after a loss to Raków.

Cherno More’s Previous Season and European Setback

Cherno More minimally outpaced their opponent last season. Surprisingly, the team ultimately finished third in the Bulgarian championship. However, they failed to perform creditably in Europe, where problems immediately arose.

Struggles and Fortuitous Victory

Cherno More eventually lost to Başakşehir, which was quite disappointing, especially after losing at home. It’s also worth noting that such Turkish teams often undergo complete overhauls before the season begins. Cherno More also started creating issues for themselves in the league. The squad failed to win for two consecutive rounds, showing terrible form in attack. However, a match against Dobrudzha saw the opponent receive a red card virtually out of nowhere, which ultimately allowed Cherno More to secure a victory.
