This match features two teams living in the basement of the Parva Liga, Botev Vratsa holding 11th place and Botev Plovdiv lying 12th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting Botev Plovdiv have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 8-14-14 (win-draw-loss) from 36 matches.
