OFK Pirin form and stats

With 3 First League wins, 5 draws and 7 defeats from their home games, OFK Pirin are certainly not brimming with confidence. When OFK Pirin hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Septemvri Sofia, OFK Pirin, Beroe, Hebar 1918 and Botev Vratsa), they have won 4 of 6 matches! Two home wins in a row for OFK Pirin bring valid hopes of a third.

The home team returns to Stadion Hristo Botev after drawing with Beroe on their last time out; the game ended 1-1.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Botev Vratsa in a game that was won 2-0.

Trench warfare? Looking at this club's last 16 league matches, 14 have contained two goals or less.

OFK Pirin have scored {14 league goals} here from 15 matches, not a lot. On the other hand, Pirin have conceded 22 goals.

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 17 consecutive matches without winning on the road.

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

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