There's been little loot from Neftohimik's travels as they have only collected 1 point from 6 away games in the B PFG. Neftohimik only have 0 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 1 draw. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Neftohimik's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Neftohimik delivered a 3-3 draw playing at home against Lokomotiv Sofia 1929 (placed 3rd) in their previous match; a B PFG game. A 2-3 defeat away at Botev Galabovo before that.

It looked so good for Neftohimik vs Lokomotiv Sofia 1929, but the job was not completed and two points were lost as a 2-0 lead was turned into a 3-3 draw. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Neftohimik, as mentioned above. 6 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?
