Beroe and Tsarsko selo have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the Parva Liga.

Insights:
  • Beroe have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.

It's no vacation for neither Beroe nor Tsarsko selo as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Tsarsko are still fighting for top positions and their benefits.

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 4 defeats.

No payout for Beroe in their previous match, an away game at Arda that ended in defeat 0-1. Before that game, the home loss against Etar with the scoreline 1-2.

Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Alioune Fall for missing a penalty kick versus Arda in the 89th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Beroe's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played five games, won four matches, drawn one and lost zero.

The manager D. Dimitrov will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Montana in only three days.

The Beroe fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 20 goals in 12 league matches. Beroe's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 12 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Tsarsko selo form and stats

Tsarsko selo have only collected 11 points from their away games in the Parva Liga, after 3-2-7 (12 played). Tsarsko seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Lokomotiv Plovdiv wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

Looking at the earlier recent performances of Tsarsko when being an outsider away as they are today, we find five matches with the visitors losing two times, drawing two and winning one game.

A new game in only four days for Tsarsko selo, the Parva Liga home match versus Arda. Busy days.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Tsarsko as they have only managed to score 10 times from 12 away games in the league. 14 goals have been conceded by Tsarsko selo in these games.
