This stadium, Vivacom Arena - Georgi Asparuhov, has been a fortress for Levski Sofia in the First League so far this season with the win-draw-loss statistic 5-0-1. Levski Sofia has won so many consecutive home games (five in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Vivacom Arena - Georgi Asparuhov. We remember; it was CSKA 1948 Sofia.

The Levski Sofia goalkeeper Plamen Andreev is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 195 minutes without conceding a goal in the First League.

Ludogorets form and stats

2 wins, 0 draws and 2 losses. That’s the product of Ludogorets playing as the away team in the First League this season.
