Important fight in the "wrong" end of the First League, with both Spartak Varna and Hebar 1918 enduring more distress than bliss. This game is a real "six-pointer" with the team playing at home at 16th and the visiting team in 14th spot.

Insights:
  • Spartak Varna have the most conceded goals (60) in First League
  • Hebar 1918 have the fewest scored goals (19) in First League

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Before that one, a nice away victory 2-0 at Beroe.
