Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Sozopol & Etar face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Bulgarian Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
The visiting Etar played their last game only three days ago, a Parva Liga match. That game, against Botev Plovdiv, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Etar.

The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Etar, who have now gone ten games without a victory. The Vitosha Bistritsa game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.
Etar has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Botev Plovdiv for a Parva Liga game that ended a draw (1-1). It was a Parva Liga defeat before that one as the away game against CSKA 1948 Sofia wasn't a success with a 1-5 loss.
A new game in only four days for Etar, the Parva Liga home match versus Beroe. Busy days.
The attacking power of Etar when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 5 league matches away. The Etar manager P. Tsvetanov Petkov has some worries about the defense as 12 goals have been conceded in these travels.
