Levski Sofia form and stats

The home fans saw their team lose the first Parva Liga game of the season here at Vivacom Arena - Georgi Asparuhov. Last season these fans witnessed 5 wins, 2 draws and 6 losses from Levski Sofia's 13 home games.

Levski are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-2 away versus Botev Vratsa. The penalty miss from Borislav Tsonev in the defeat against Botev Vratsa was a source of irritation for some fans, but these things happen.

Before that game, the home loss against Slavia Sofia with the scoreline 1-2.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Levski have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found seven matches with the results: Won two, drawn one and lost four.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the Levski Sofia at home in the league. 1 on target and 2 scored by the opposition; from 1 match.

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Arda goalkeeper Vasil Simeonov is eager to challenge this, with his 181 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Arda has to pack their bags again for the second away game in a row. Last time they traveled to Botev Vratsa for a Parva Liga game that ended a draw (0-0).
