It's the very first match of the new campaign for Botev Vratsa and Etar. The sheet is blank, the potential infinite.
We should expect both teams to be fresh and ready for this match, as there is some time since both teams last played. Let's have a look at how the teams are doing!
Botev Vratsa form and stats
Disaster struck Vratsa last season as they could not defend their status as a Parva Liga team. With 14 defeats from 26 games, and only 5 wins, relegation could not be avoided. Botev Vratsa are hopeful of bouncing straight back up, but need to improve upon their home record from last season of W3 D6 L4.
Botev Vratsa have spent many days and weeks preparing for this match, with countless hours on the training pitches and two practice matches played. These training games have ended with 2 wins, 0 draws and 0 defeats. Some might be interested in the goal production stats for these matches; Botev Vratsa scored 5 goals and let in 2 goals during these two games.
Etar form and stats
A job perfectly done for Etar last season as they secured promotion from B PFG. With a grand total of 21 wins, 5 draws and 10 defeats the season objective was secured. Of these wins, 8 were in away matches.
It's finally time to play a game of importance again as a long period of training has passed. Etar have played a number of friendly games in this period, resulting in 1 win, 3 draws and 1 defeats from five fixtures.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings involving these two contenders are: four wins for Botev Vratsa, four draws and two wins for Etar. Over 2,5 goals: three times; under 2,5 goals: seven games. The games between these teams sometimes lean towards being hot-tempered, having seen 7 red cards from the last ten duels.Top Goalscorers
