National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's Yambol 1915 or Arda that keep their silverware dream alive.
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.
Yambol 1915 form and stats
2W-1D-0L is the hard facts regardless of venue in the Bulgarian Cup for Yambol 1915.
Yambol enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Dimitrovgrad's place. The match ended 1-0.
Before that game, the 3-2 home victory against Rodopa Smolyan.There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Yambol, as the 3. League Southeast home game vs Nesebar is only four days away.
Arda form and stats
Arda's mission in Bulgarian Cup last season failed in the final.The visitors are W1-D1-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Parva Liga. Arda has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
The supporters enjoyed Arda's previous game versus OFK Pirin, a Parva Liga 3-0 win played at home.
It was a Parva Liga defeat before that one as the away game against Botev Plovdiv wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.The schedule is very tough for Arda now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Parva Liga game at Beroe is waiting in only three days.
The attacking power of Arda when travelling is not overwhelming with 3 goals scored from 4 league matches away. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (3 so far).
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last two meetings: zero - zero - two (Yambol wins - draws - Arda wins). As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), one had two or less.Yambol 1915 missing players
