It's early days in the B PFG and the teams are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.

It's no vacation for neither Lovech nor OFK Pirin as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
