Slavia Sofia form and stats

Slavia Sofia, who have the fewest scored goals (5) in Parva Liga, are still without points from their Parva Liga away games. 4 games, 4 defeats. Bitter travels for Slavia as they have lost four games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Ludogorets match.
