Etar form and stats

With 1 Parva Liga win, 2 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Etar, who have the most conceded goals (31) in Parva Liga, are certainly not brimming with confidence.

The Etar goalkeeper Hristo Ivanov is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 387 minutes without conceding a goal in the Parva Liga.

A strong away win for Etar against Cherno More the last match, as Preslav Borukov were on target. Nobody expected Etar to beat Cherno More in the last match, but sometimes David beats Goliath. Before that game, the 1-0 home victory against Tsarsko selo.

This is expected to be a close game, with Etar perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Etar as a small favourite), we find four games. Etar has won one of these, drawn two and lost one.

Etar aren't scoring a lot here at Stadion Ivailo in the league, with only 6 goals from 7 games. Goals are flowing in at the wrong end for Etar with 14 goals conceded in these matches.

Montana form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Montana, who have the fewest clean sheets (2) in Parva Liga, so far with only 2 points returning home. The records show 0-2-4 (win-draw-lose). Recent form does not give Montana much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Etar will be a tough nut to crack.

Montana might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Tsarsko selo proved too strong as Montana slumped to a 3-4 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadion Ogosta. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Arda wasn't a success with a 0-3 loss.

A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Montana, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Montana playing away and similar expectations, we found five relevant matches. Results were two Montana wins, two draws and one defeat.

The schedule is very tough for Montana now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Parva Liga game at Beroe is waiting in only four days.

Montana are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 2 goals from 6 away games. For Montana, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
