- Botev Vratsa has the fewest dropped points from leading position (0) in Parva Liga
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!
Arda form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Arena Arda as Arda have scored 15 goals to get 16 points from 8 games. The overall stats in the Parva Liga are 4-4-0 (wins-draws-losses). Arda haven’t lost a league-game in ten attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Cherno More, 145 days ago. Two draws in a row at home now for Arda.
Arda are returning here after visiting Botev Plovdiv in a Parva Liga game and winning with a 2-0 scoreline. Juninho Piauiense (2) scored the goal(s). The spoils were shared after 90 minutes before that, a home game that ended 2-2 versus Ludogorets.
Arda have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Arena Arda with 15 goals in 8 league matches. 8 goals have been conceded.
Botev Vratsa form and stats
Botev Vratsa have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Parva Liga, after 1-1-6 (8 played). It's looking increasingly bleak for Vratsa who now has to deal with a six game losing streak. Etar was the last time a defeat was avoided. Bitter travels for Botev Vratsa as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Levski Sofia match.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Parva Liga home defeat versus Beroe with 1-2 on the scoreboard. Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting CSKA Sofia's place.
Botev Vratsa were so close to getting something from the game against Beroe, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal two minutes into overtime.
The attacking power of Vratsa when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 8 league matches away. It's worth mentioning that 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. The Vratsa manager A. Zdravkov has some worries about the defense as 17 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
These teams' last encounter with each other was the Botev Vratsa - Arda 0-0 earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last five meetings): Arda won one game, three matches ended with a draw and Botev Vratsa has one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: two / threeTop Goalscorers
