Slavia Sofia battle Levski Sofia for glory and football prosperity.

These teams are located so close to each other that their supporters eat in the same restaurants, hang out at the same night clubs and give birth at the same hospitals. This means added importance to the game and a vibrant atmosphere.

The visiting Levski Sofia played their last game only three days ago, a Europa Conference League match.
