Beroe form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Parva Liga travels is 0 wins, 0 draws and 5 defeats. A depressing five defeats in a row for Beroe in their away games. Unhappy days, as the last time they avoided a loss on the road was versus Arda.

Yusein was the last player to score for the away team. Beroe haven't scored a league goal in the last 208 minutes.

Home advantage was not enough for Beroe in their previous game as they lost hosting Levski Sofia, 0-1.

Preceding that game, the 0-2 loss visiting Slavia Sofia's place.
