The Parva Liga league table might not tell the truth so early on, but it's the best truth we have so far. Etar and Ludogorets are placed 14th and 3rd respectively.
Ludogorets could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Champions League game only three sleeps ago.
Etar form and stats
Etar's first Parva Liga home game here at Stadion Ivailo ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 0 wins, 0 draws and 1 defeat from 1 matches. Etar has three losses from their three previous games and the tension is increasing in the dressing room for both the manager P. Tsvetanov Petkov and the players.
Etar haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 444 minutes ago. T. Yordanov scored that one.
Etar faced defeat in their previous match, away at Montana (0-1). Preceding that match was the home game against Cherno More that was lost 0-4.
The home team are doomed in this game if you believe the odds offered on Ludogorets to win. Let's see if Etar are capable of creating a surprise here by looking at their earlier home games as massive outsiders: one game found revealing zero Etar wins, one draw and zero defeats.
At Stadion Ivailo, Etar has the goal stats of 0-4 (for/against) from 1 league fixture.
Ludogorets form and stats
Ludogorets, who have the most scored goals (8) in Parva Liga, are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Parva Liga, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).
Ludogorets's previous game was their home loss versus Midtjylland (0-1). Ahead of that match was the victory versus Cherno More at their stadium, the result 4-1.
It's a bit worrying for Ludogorets that their goalkeeper Renan made six saves in the Midtjylland game last time out, but still couldn''t prevent the loss.
Again, the away team are huge favourites in this match and any other result would be an upset. We checked our Tipsway database for earlier, recent games with Ludogorets given similar win odds in an away game. This check revealed ten matches with six wins as expected, four draws and zero surprise home wins. The favourites won three of these games by at least two goals.
Ludogorets have the goal stats of 5-4 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
Head 2 Head
Last eight meetings between the teams: Etar won zero, Ludogorets won seven and one draw. five games with over 2,5 goals, three matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
