National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Lokomotiv G. Oryahovitsa or Neftohimik that keep their silverware dream alive.
Lokomotiv G. Oryahovitsa and Neftohimik should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
Lokomotiv G. Oryahovitsa form and stats
Last season, Lokomotiv G. Oryahovitsa's Bulgarian Cup journey ended in the preliminary round.The opportunity of a proper winning streak is there for the hosts, with two straight wins here at Stadion Lokomotiv.
Oryahovitsa's last game was hosting Drenovets and winning 4-2. A goal frenzy last time out for Oryahovitsa, with a total of 6 goals in the match against Drenovets. Fun stuff to watch!
Preceding that game was the away draw at Sevlievo that finished 1-1.There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Lokomotiv G. Oryahovitsa as they are travelling to their away game against Partizan in the 3. League Northwest. That match is two days after this one.
Neftohimik form and stats
Neftohimik was sent out of Bulgarian Cup in the preliminary round last season.The manager K. Genov is not happy with the away performances in the B PFG so far, as all 4 matches have been lost. Bitter travels for Neftohimik as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Sportist Svoge match.
Neftohimik lost away at Hebar 1918 (0-6) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Hebar 1918 was particularly ugly (0-6). The humiliation is still top of mind.
Ahead of that game was the 1-1 draw at home against Ludogorets II in the B PFG.There's been a serious shortage of goals from Neftohimik's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 4 matches. There are big problems for the Neftohimik defense as they have conceded 13 goals in 4 away games.

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Lokomotiv G. Oryahovitsa four wins, four draws and Neftohimik two victories. As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six games had two or less.Top Goalscorers
