The Parva Liga league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Botev Vratsa and Arda are placed 12th and 4th respectively.
Both teams have had enough rest since their last competitive action. Let's hope for an energetic game!
Botev Vratsa form and stats
OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for Botev Vratsa's two home games in the Parva Liga so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Stadion Hristo Botev. Vratsa has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager A. Zdravkov and the players.
Botev Vratsa lost their last game at Beroe (placed 4th) after a 0-6 scoreline. Preceding that match was a defeat to CSKA Sofia (1-2).
As you see from the result above, Vratsa suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.
It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Botev Vratsa at home in the league. 4 on target and 3 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.
