Season ticket holders at Stadion Ivailo haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Etar languishing in the 14th position so far. The guesting CSKA Sofia will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.

Etar form and stats

Three Parva Liga home games done for Etar, who are not happy collecting 0 points from these matches. Problems are piling up for Etar as they are struggling in their away games as well, taking their total losing streak to a running total of seven games. This streak could be one for the history books. With Etar having lost three times in a row here, the pressure is increasing on the manager P. Tsvetanov Petkov.

Etar faced defeat in their previous match, away at CSKA 1948 Sofia (1-5). Before that game, the home loss against Lokomotiv Plovdiv with the scoreline 1-3.

As you see from the result above, Etar suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

Etar have scored 1 goal here in 3 league matches, a depressing statistic. Defensively there's plenty of potential for improvement as Etar have allowed the opposition to score 9 goals here at Stadion Ivailo. This has been a stadium of sighs so far as Etar have let the opposition score 9 times, an average of more than three per game.
