Struggling Etar will be hoping to pull off an upset when they welcome high-flying Beroe in the upcoming league round. It’s 14th vs 3rd and the home crowd will have moderate expectations.

Etar have less rest than Beroe in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Bulgarian Cup game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Sozopol, so at least Etar are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
