Arda form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Arda's two home games in the Parva Liga so far this season, having collected 4 points here at Arena Arda.

The home team returns to Arena Arda after being equal after 90 minutes with Beroe (placed 6th) on their last time out; the Parva Liga game ended 1-1. Juninho was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against Beroe after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?

Before that match, a Bulgarian Cup win away at Yambol 1915.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Arda have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found seven matches with the results: Won three, drawn two and lost two.

Early season league goal statistics from Arda's 2 home games: 4 goals, 1 conceded.
