Beroe form and stats

5 victories, 2 draws and 8 defeats. That’s what Beroe have to build on here at Stadion Beroe in the First League. When Beroe hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Septemvri Sofia, OFK Pirin, Beroe, Hebar 1918 and Botev Vratsa), they have won 3 of 5 matches!

No payout for Beroe in their previous match, an away game at Botev Vratsa that ended in defeat 0-2.

Before that, Beroe had a home game versus Septemvri Sofia which ended with a victory 2-0.

It should be added that a look at the 10 latest league matches reveals that 8 of them qualified as a both teams not to score result (only one or none of the sides scored).

Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 23 goals have been conceded. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 2 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Spartak Varna form and stats

There's been little loot from Spartak Varna's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 15 away games in the First League. Spartak Varna only have 0 wins to counter their 11 defeats and 4 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Spartak Varna have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 16 consecutive matches without winning on the road.

Spartak Varna go into this game after a win, the home game against Hebar 1918 that ended 2-1. That win felt nice as this club had gone four league matches without victory.

Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Botev Vratsa that ended 1-1.

Goals from both teams? This club's fresh fixtures suggest that, having completed 5 league games in a row with one or more goals from each side.

The attacking power of Spartak when travelling is not overwhelming with 11 goals scored from 15 league matches away. The Spartak Varna manager Dimitrov has some worries about the defense as 35 goals have been conceded in these travels.

Head 2 Head

Surprisingly enough, Spartak Varna have found the net in every league match they've performed in since failing to score against today's opposition; the Spartak Varna - Beroe 0-4 match eight fixtures ago. Head-2-head stats last six meetings: three - one - two (Beroe wins - draws - Spartak Varna wins). As for goals, three matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.
