Beroe form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Beroe so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-5 (win-draw-lose). A depressing four defeats in a row for Beroe in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Etar.

Beroe might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Lokomotiv Sofia 1929 proved too strong as Beroe slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadion Beroe.

Prior to that match, the Beroe manager Acciari faced defeat when travelling to Botev Plovdiv and losing 1-4.

Observe: 10 of the last 12 league fixtures featuring this club have had only one (or no) team scoring (Both Teams to Score NO in sports betting words).

The visitors have scored 5 goals from 7 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. The Beroe manager Acciari has some worries about the defense as 16 goals have been conceded in these travels.
