OFK Pirin form and stats

OFK Pirin, who have the most conceded goals (44) in B PFG, have only collected 8 points from their away games after 2-2-8 (12 played). It's looking increasingly bleak for OFK Pirin who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. Botev Galabovo was the last time a defeat was avoided. OFK Pirin has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Two away games in a row for OFK Pirin, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-2 versus CSKA 1948 Sofia in the B PFG. The game before that, was lost at home, a 0-5 defeat against Lovech.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting OFK Pirin as they have only managed to score 11 times from 12 away games. In the opposite end, OFK Pirin have conceded 21 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

This is not the first time this season these parties meet, as the history books show this recent fixture: OFK Pirin - Nesebar 1-3. Head-2-head stats last two meetings: 2 - 0 - 0 (Nesebar wins - draws - OFK Pirin wins).
