OFK Pirin form and stats

OFK Pirin have collected 14 points from their Parva Liga home games so far after 4-2-4. When OFK Pirin hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Tsarsko selo, OFK Pirin, Lokomotiv Sofia 1929 and Botev Vratsa), they have won 3 of 3 matches!

Pirin's previous game was also played at home, ending 2-1 versus Lokomotiv Sofia 1929 (placed 13th). The home side are looking to build on that result.

In the preceding match a 5-3 victory visiting Ludogorets.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how OFK Pirin have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won two times, drawn one and lost one.

A decent goal production from OFK Pirin in their home games so far, with 19 goals from 10 league matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 17 goals have been conceded.

Arda form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Arda so far with only 9 points returning home. The records show 2-3-5 (win-draw-lose). Three consecutive losses in away matches means Arda are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

Arda have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 215 minutes ago. Kokonov was the goal scorer.

Arda might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Botev Plovdiv proved too strong as Arda slumped to a 0-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Stadion Lokomotiv.

A loss against Ludogorets was the result prior to that, in a home game.

Arda are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is three wins, four draws and two defeats. From a total of nine matches.

The attacking power of Arda when travelling is not overwhelming with 9 goals scored from 10 league matches away. 14 goals have been conceded by Arda in these games. It's worth mentioning that 8 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.

Head 2 Head

The latest archived match between these squads is the Arda - Pirin 3-0 played earlier this season. Stats for the previous three meetings featuring these two teams are: zero wins for OFK Pirin, one draw and two wins for Arda. Over 2,5 goals: one time; under 2,5 goals: two games.
