Beroe form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Beroe's two home games in the Parva Liga so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Stadion Beroe.

The fans are hoping that Beroe will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 2-3 away loss in the Parva Liga game against Slavia Sofia (placed 3rd).

Before that game, the home loss against Cherno More with the scoreline 0-2.

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 seven games) they have won two times, drawn one and lost four.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Beroe at home in the league. 1 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
