The Bulgarian First League derby between Botev Plovdiv and Beroe Stara Zagora ended in a 0-0 draw on February 8, 2026, with a 22:45 start time. This fiercely contested match, known as the "Plovdiv derby," lacked goals but was full of intensity and commitment from both sets of players. The match process was characterized by strong tackles and midfield battles, with clear chances at a premium. Botev Plovdiv had the better of the possession and forced several corners, but could not find a way past a determined Beroe defense. The away side offered a sporadic threat on the break. The final whistle brought a share of the points, a result that does little for either team's ambitions in the upper half of the league table but maintains local bragging rights until the next meeting.
