Botev Vratsa have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Parva Liga, after 1-1-7 (9 played).

It's all red in the travel logs of Vratsa, having lost five matches in a row as the visiting team.
Vratsa had fun at their own home (Stadion Ogosta) last time out, beating Chernomorets Balchik 3-0. A 0-3 loss hosting Tsarsko selo before that.
