Insights:
  • CSKA Sofia have the most points from losing position (17) in Parva Liga

CSKA Sofia are done competing for places this season; they will remain in 2nd place whatever happens now. Levski Sofia have already sealed their fate; they will finish in 5th place no matter what happens.

This is a game between neighbours, usually meaning more mental strain and significance.

Levski Sofia could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Bulgarian Cup game only four sleeps ago. That game was also an away game, at Ludogorets. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
