National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Sportist Svoge or Ludogorets that keep their silverware dream alive.
Ludogorets could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Parva Liga game only four sleeps ago. That game, against CSKA 1948 Sofia, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Ludogorets.
Sportist Svoge form and stats
Sportist Svoge have collected 10 points from their Vtora Liga home games so far after 3-1-2. The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of four straight victories regardless of arena. Two home wins in a row for Sportist bring valid hopes of a third.
Sportist are confident in defense, having played 337 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
Sportist's previous game was a Vtora Liga match also played at home, ending 1-0 versus Sozopol. The home side are looking to build on that result. In the game before, an away victory in the Vtora Liga match versus Septemvri Simitli with a 1-0 scoreline.
Sportist are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 6 goals in 6 games. From these home matches, Sportist have conceded only 5 goals.
Ludogorets form and stats
Last season their Bulgarian Cup adventure ended in the quarter-finals.Ludogorets have an excellent away record in the Parva Liga so far with 4-1-1 from 6 games. In general it has been a productive period now for Ludogorets as they haven't lost any of their last ten games. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Ludogorets are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.
Ludogorets have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper Vladislav Boykov Stoyanov. It's been 267 minutes since they last conceded in Parva Liga.
A 1-3 loss hosting Tottenham Hotspur before that.
Ludogorets create on average more than 2,5 goals per away game (in the league) all by themselves, having scored 15 goals in 6 travels. As opposed to that, Ludogorets have seen the ball go into their own net 7 times on the road.
