Beroe form and stats

Beroe have played 13 First League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-2-7 (wins-draws-losses).

Beroe haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 188 minutes ago. Yordanov scored that one.

Beroe are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Levski Sofia. Heartbreak for Beroe in their last match as Levski Sofia's Chandarov scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

Ahead of that match, Beroe lost 0-1 at home to Slavia Sofia.

This is expected to be a close game, with Beroe perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Beroe as a small favourite), we find 6 games. Beroe has won 5 of these, drawn 1 and lost 0.
