Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Sevlievo & Slavia Sofia face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Bulgarian Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
Slavia Sofia could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Parva Liga game only three sleeps ago.
Sevlievo form and stats
Sevlievo was eliminated in the preliminary round last season in the Bulgarian Cup.Sevlievo have been very solid at home in the 3. League Northwest so far, with 18 points collected from 6 matches (6-0-0). This has contributed greatly to their 1st position in the table. Sevlievo has won so many consecutive home games (seven in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Stadion Rakovski. We remember; it was Vihar Slavyanovo.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Sevlievo, as the 3. League Northwest home game vs Partizan is only four days away.
Sevlievo are showing their attacking force in their league home games this season, scoring more than 2,5 goals per game on average (18 goals in 6 games). Sevlievo have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 1 goal.
Slavia Sofia form and stats
Last season their Bulgarian Cup adventure ended in the 8th finals.The manager A. Slavkov is not happy with the away performances in the Parva Liga so far, as all 4 matches have been lost. It's all red in the travel logs of Slavia Sofia, having lost five matches in a row as the visiting team.
The supporters enjoyed Slavia's previous game versus Levski Sofia, a Parva Liga 1-0 win played at home. Prior to that match, the Slavia Sofia manager A. Slavkov faced defeat when travelling to Montana and losing 1-2.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Slavia manager A. Slavkov as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against CSKA 1948 Sofia.
Goals are few and far between in Slavia's away league games. Only 2 goals from 4 travels. The Slavia manager A. Slavkov has some worries about the defense as 8 goals have been conceded in these travels.
