Beroe form and stats

There's been little loot from Beroe's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 6 away games in the First League. Beroe only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 1 draw. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Beroe's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Beroe have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 498 minutes ago. Cevallos was the goal scorer.

Beroe's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus CSKA 1948 Sofia that finished 0-0.

Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Botev Vratsa's place.

Take note: 9 of the latest 10 league fixtures featuring this side have seen only one (or no) team scoring (Both Teams to Score NO in sports betting).

The attacking power of Beroe when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 6 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

Botev Plovdiv have avoided defeat in the last 5 matches (3-2-0) versus Beroe.
