Insights:
  • Levski Sofia have the most clean sheets (15) in Parva Liga

Slavia Sofia are done competing for places this season; they will remain in 6th place whatever happens now. Levski Sofia have already sealed their fate; they will finish in 5th place no matter what happens.

There's local pride at stake here, as these teams are practically neighbours. Expect lots of passion from both players and supporters.

The visiting Levski Sofia played their last game only four days ago, a Bulgarian Cup match. That game was also an away game, at CSKA Sofia. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
