Game week two of the Parva Liga season and the teams have had a few days to digest the first match. Here's the Arda - CSKA Sofia preview:
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.
Arda form and stats
Last season, Arda's league statistics were 12 wins, 9 draws and 5 losses, resulting in a 4th position in the Parva Liga. Over these 26 matches they scored 36 goals and conceded 29. Playing at home last season Arda managed 8-4-1 (win-draw-lost) with 23 goals and 14 conceded.
Arda are confident in defense, having played 181 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
Arda travelled for their previous game, a trip to Botev Vratsa that ended 0-0.
Before that, Arda had a home game versus Cherno More which ended with a victory 1-0.CSKA Sofia form and stats
Let's have a look at how CSKA Sofia performed last season in the Parva Liga: They landed a 3rd position in the league table after playing out 14 victories, 8 draws and 4 defeats. In total they scored 39 and conceded 20 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 5 - drew 4 and lost 4 with 18/14 goals scored/conceded. A perfect away game record so far for the visitors in the Parva Liga, but they have only played once. Last season their away game stats were 0 wins, 0 draws and 2 defeats from 2 matches.
Sofia play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 4-2 victory visiting CSKA 1948 Sofia (placed 13th). As you can tell from the result, the match against CSKA 1948 Sofia was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against Beroe.It's early days yet, but CSKA Sofia has scored 4 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
