Slavia Sofia form and stats

Slavia Sofia, who have the fewest scored goals (19) in Parva Liga, have played 13 Parva Liga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 4-3-6 (wins-draws-losses). The Slavia manager Z. Zagorčić might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

Preceding that match was a defeat to Botev Vratsa (0-2).

Dimitar Rangelov was able to secure the draw 1-1 in the game against Etar after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?

The match schedule is unforgiving for Slavia Sofia as they have a new game in only three days, a Parva Liga match thankfully also at home. Botev Vratsa are visiting.

Slavia aren't scoring a lot here at Stadion Slavija in the league, with only 9 goals from 13 games. On the other hand, Slavia have conceded 16 goals.

Montana form and stats

There's been little loot from Montana's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 13 away games in the Parva Liga. Montana, who have the fewest points (5) away in Parva Liga, only have 0 wins to counter their 8 defeats and 5 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Montana have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 13 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Pomorie game.

A 0-6 defeat away at CSKA Sofia before that.

A quick return to home after this game, as Montana are hosting Etar in the Parva Liga only three days away.

Montana are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 4 goals from 13 away games. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Montana have conceded 24 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
