Hebar 1918's struggle is real here at Stadion Georgi Benkovski with only 6 points collected from 10 First League games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-3-6.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Hebar, as their goalkeeper Petar Debarliev has completely shut out the opponents for 180 minutes in the First League.

It's back home for Hebar 1918, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Slavia Sofia away with the result 1-0. Valpoort found the net in that victory. A huge relief, as that was the first league win after playing, but not winning, seven games in a row.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Spartak Varna that ended 0-0.

Hebar 1918 have scored {7 league goals} here from 10 matches, not a lot. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 16 goals have been conceded.

Levski Sofia form and stats

The visitors are W2-D5-L3 on the road this term. That's in the First League. We have registered quite an interesting succession of draws for Levski when travelling, as their latest five away games have all ended as ties. Not since the Slavia Sofia game has the points been handed to just one side.

There were no winners in Levski Sofia's previous match, the home game that ended 0-0 vs Ludogorets (placed 2nd).

Before that, Levski Sofia travelled to OFK Pirin and returned home with a draw after the game finished 1-1.

Lacking goals? 8 of this club's latest 10 league matches have contained two or less goals.

The visitors have scored 9 goals from 10 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. It's not easy to score on Levski Sofia as they have only conceded 9 goals from these away games.
