Etar are welcoming Tsarsko selo for another important game after their 5-3 result against Dunav 2010.

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

Etar form and stats

Etar have collected 18 points from their Parva Liga home games so far after 4-6-3.

Etar's previous game was a Parva Liga match also played at home, ending 5-3 versus Dunav 2010. The home side are looking to build on that result. Heartbreak before that as Etar lost 0-2 at Lokomotiv Plovdiv's place.

A goal frenzy last time out for Etar, with a total of 8 goals in the match against Dunav 2010. Fun stuff to watch!

The home team are moderate favourites in this game. How does Etar handle that role? We have found six games in our database similar to this one, based on the home odds. The stats for these games are three wins, three draws and zero defeats.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Etar as they are travelling to their away game against Cherno More in the Parva Liga. That match is four days after this one.

The Etar fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 15 in 13 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 21 goals have been conceded.

Tsarsko selo form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Tsarsko selo so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 3-1-9 (win-draw-lose).

It's the second away game in a row for Tsarsko, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Botev Vratsa in the Parva Liga last time out. Preceding that, the 1-3 home loss versus Slavia Sofia.

World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager L. Penev when Toma Ushagelov scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 88th minute.

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

The visitors have scored 9 goals from 13 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. In the opposite end, Tsarsko selo have conceded 22 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Tsarsko selo - Etar 2-2. Head-2-head stats last five meetings: two - three - zero (Etar wins - draws - Tsarsko selo wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.
