Botev Vratsa form and stats
Botev Vratsa's struggle is real here at Stadion Hristo Botev with only 11 points collected from 12 Parva Liga games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 3-2-7. The home stadium (Stadion Hristo Botev) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Vratsa it's been a house of straw as the last six games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around?
The Vratsa goalkeeper Krasimir Kostov is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 192 minutes without conceding a goal in the Parva Liga.
Happy days for Vratsa in their previous game, a Parva Liga match away at Slavia Sofia (placed 12th) that ended with a 2-0 victory. Preceding that game was the away draw at Etar that finished 0-0.
This is expected to be a close game, with Botev Vratsa perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Botev Vratsa as a small favourite), we find eleven games. Botev Vratsa has won three of these, drawn three and lost five.
Vratsa has scored 15 league goals at home this season, in 12 matches. On the other hand, Vratsa have conceded 17 goals.
Cherno More form and stats
There's been little loot from Cherno More's travels as they have only collected 10 points from 12 away games in the Parva Liga. Cherno More only have 2 wins to counter their 6 defeats and 4 draws. Two points from the last two away games for Cherno More, which the math geniuses among you will translate to two draws.
The attacking players of Cherno have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 194 minutes. Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Cherno goalkeeper Georgi Nikolaev Georgiev is eager to challenge this, with his 204 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.
Cherno had fun at their own home (Stadion Hristo Botev) last time out, beating Botev Plovdiv 1-0. Kasmi Fajsel scored. A 0-0 draw at CSKA 1948 Sofia's stadium before that.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found five similar matches played by Cherno More in our archives, and the results are: two wins for Cherno, one draw and two defeats.
The attacking power of Cherno when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 12 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 13 goals have been conceded by Cherno in these games.
