Vereya form and stats

With {0 3. League Southeast wins}, 0 draws and 16 defeats from their home games, Vereya, who have the fewest scored goals (22) in 3. League Southeast, are certainly not brimming with confidence. There have been more unhappy faces than points at this arena so far this season, with Vereya yet to win or draw a 3. League Southeast game here. The sad story at Trace Arena is: Vereya played 16 games, lost 16 games. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in 30 attempts.

The fans are hoping that Vereya will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-6 away loss in the 3. League Southeast game against Nesebar (placed 16th). Vereya were outplayed and humiliated in their previous game, as mentioned in the paragraph above. They will need to reinstall their confidence before this one.

Preceding that match was the home game against Rozova dolina that was lost 0-5.

Vereya have scored 11 league goals here from 16 matches, not a lot. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. This has been a stadium of sighs so far as Vereya have let the opposition score 57 times, an average of more than three per game.

Maritsa Plovdiv form and stats

A home win before that, celebrating 2-1 vs Nesebar.
