Stadion Bâlgarska Armija: CSKA Sofia vs Beroe Parva Liga preview

The hosts Sofia saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Parva Liga. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at CSKA 1948 Sofia.

CSKA Sofia are done competing for places this season; they will remain in 3rd place whatever happens now. Beroe are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.

CSKA Sofia form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Stadion Bâlgarska Armija as CSKA Sofia have scored 21 goals to get 31 points from 13 games. The overall stats in the Parva Liga are 9-4-0 (wins-draws-losses). Sofia are on a three game winning streak in their home games.

Stress levels are on the rise for CSKA Sofia's attacking players as they have now played 180 minutes without scoring in a league game. J. Caicedo was their last goal scorer.

Sofia lost their last game at CSKA 1948 Sofia after a 0-1 scoreline. Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Jordy Caicedo for missing a penalty kick versus CSKA 1948 Sofia in the 90th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

In the game before, an away victory in the Bulgarian Cup match versus Arda with a 1-0 scoreline.

The Sofia fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 21 goals in 13 league matches. It's worth mentioning that 11 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Sofia have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 6 goals.

Beroe form and stats

The visitors are W5-D4-L4 on the road this term. That's in the Parva Liga.

There were no winners in Beroe's previous match, a Parva Liga home game that ended 3-3 vs CSKA 1948 Sofia. The match against CSKA 1948 Sofia looked like a defeat for Beroe, but they did not accept the outcome and clawed their way back to 3-3. Alioune Fall equalized in the 83rd minute. As you can tell from the result, the match against CSKA 1948 Sofia was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

Before that, Beroe travelled to Lokomotiv Plovdiv and returned home with a draw after the game finished 0-0.
