The Ludogorets & Levski Sofia managers P. Vrba and G. Vasilev Todorov are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the Parva Liga league table.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Ludogorets and Levski Sofia.

Dan Biton was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against CSKA Sofia after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?
