Botev Vratsa form and stats
When playing at home in the Parva Liga, Botev Vratsa have managed 3 wins, 2 draws and suffered 2 defeats from 7 games. 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's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-1 versus Lokomotiv Plovdiv (placed 2nd). Heartbreak before that as Vratsa lost 1-2 at Ludogorets's place.
Some supporters pointed their nail-bitten fingers at Valeri Domovchiyski for missing a penalty kick versus Lokomotiv Plovdiv in the 84th minute. It's possible that a goal in that situation would have changed the outcome.

Slavia Sofia form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Slavia Sofia, who have the fewest points (0) away in Parva Liga, so far with only 0 points returning home. The records show 0-0-6 (win-draw-lose). Slavia Sofia are still without points from their Parva Liga away games. 6 games, 6 defeats. It's all red in the travel logs of Slavia, having lost six matches in a row as the visiting team.
Slavia have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 181 minutes ago. K. Krastev was the goal scorer.
The manager A. Tarkhanov was unhappy after their last game, a Parva Liga match played at their home ground Stadion Slavija. Slavia suffered a 0-2 loss to Ludogorets (placed 1st). A draw for Slavia Sofia before that, at their own venue hosting Botev Plovdiv (0-0).
Slavia are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is two wins, zero draws and four defeats. From a total of six matches.
The schedule is very tough for Slavia Sofia now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Parva Liga game at Lokomotiv Plovdiv is waiting in only four days.
The attacking power of Slavia Sofia when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 6 league matches away. People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that Slavia concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own.
