Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Drenovets & Strumska slava face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Bulgarian Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Drenovets form and stats
Last season their Bulgarian Cup adventure ended in the preliminary round.Drenovets have played three 3. League Northwest home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 2 points from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. Two draws in a row at home now for Drenovets.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Drenovets as they have a new game in only four days, a 3. League Northwest match thankfully also at home. Spartak Pleven are visiting.
The Drenovets fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 3 in 3 matches. Drenovets are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (6 from 3 played).
Strumska slava form and stats
They also participated in Bulgarian Cup last season. This ended in the preliminary round.It's not happening yet for Strumska slava on their B PFG travels, with zero points from their first 3 away games. Maybe today will be different? Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Strumska slava's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Strumska are travelling after their nice 3-1 home win in the B PFG against Sportist Svoge. Prior to that match, the Strumska manager D. Dimitrov faced defeat when travelling to Ludogorets II and losing 1-4.
The visitors will be packing their bags again in only four days as another away game awaits: The B PFG trip to Lokomotiv G. Oryahovitsa.
There's been a serious shortage of goals from Strumska's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 3 matches. There are big problems for the Strumska slava defense as they have conceded 9 goals in 3 away games.
