Delightful dogfight as daring Beroe duels with determined Arda

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Arda have already sealed their fate; they will finish in 4th place no matter what happens.

Beroe form and stats

The story so far in the Parva Liga for Beroe at their home stadium (Stadion Beroe) is 5 wins, 3 draws and 5 defeats. We have seen two home losses in a row now for Beroe, who are hoping that the phrase “third time lucky” applies to them.

Beroe faced defeat in their previous match, away at Ludogorets (1-3). Before that, Beroe played out a draw 1-1 when visiting Montana.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Beroe have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won two times, drawn one and lost three.

The manager P. Kolev will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Lokomotiv Plovdiv in only four days.

A decent goal production from Beroe in their home games so far, with 20 goals from 13 league matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Beroe have conceded 13 goals.

Arda form and stats

As the visiting team in Parva Liga matches, Arda have produced an overall stat of 4-5-4 so far. Arda has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Arda are looking to quickly end their 192 minutes long goal drought in the Parva Liga.

It might be tough going out on the road again for Arda, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-1 versus CSKA Sofia. Preceding that game, the 0-4 loss visiting Tsarsko selo's place.

Arda are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, two draws and one defeat. From a total of six matches.

The visiting Arda have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 13 goals from 13 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches.
