It's early days in the Parva Liga and both Levski Sofia and Etar are still hoping for a flying start in order to set the tone for the season. Three points can make a big difference at this stage.

A strong away win for Levski against Montana the last match, as Ivaylo Naydenov, Stijn Spierings (2) and Paulinho were on target. Before that game, the home loss against Tsarsko selo with the scoreline 0-1.

As indicated by the result mentioned above, Levski played a great game against Montana and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.

Etar form and stats

It's not happening yet for Etar on their Parva Liga travels, with zero points from their first 2 away games. Maybe today will be different? With the Etar losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Etar has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.

Etar have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 534 minutes ago. T. Yordanov was the goal scorer.

The manager P. Tsvetanov Petkov was unhappy after their last game, a Parva Liga match played at their home ground Stadion Ivailo. Etar suffered a 0-2 loss to Ludogorets (placed 2nd). Preceding that game, the 0-1 loss visiting Montana's place.

Etar have the goal stats of 0-4 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
