Slavia Sofia hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 1 point and a 13th position in the Parva Liga table. Visiting Tsarsko selo holds 7th place with 9 pts.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

These teams are so close in distance that this match is special, a derby with local pride the main prize.

Slavia Sofia form and stats

Slavia Sofia have played three Parva Liga home games so far, perhaps enough to set expectations for the season. In that case, only 1 point from these matches could be a signal of rough times ahead. It's trouble wherever Slavia Sofia are playing these days as they have suffered five straight defeats now, regardless of arena. They really need to get back to winning ways. The Slavia Sofia manager A. Slavkov might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

Slavia Sofia are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 1-2 away versus Arda. Ahead of that match, Slavia lost 0-2 at home to Beroe.

This is expected to be a close game, with Slavia Sofia perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Slavia Sofia as a small favourite), we find three games. Slavia has won one of these, drawn zero and lost two.

The lack of attacking qualities in Slavia means that they have only scored 1 goal in 3 league home games, less than half a goal per match. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Slavia defense is not exactly impregnable. 5 goals conceded from 3 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.

Tsarsko selo form and stats

Tsarsko selo are still undefeated on their travels in the Parva Liga. They have only played two games though, winning one and drawing the other.

Tsarsko selo might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Botev Vratsa proved too strong as Tsarsko selo slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Tsarsko Complex. Ahead of that match was the away draw versus Botev Plovdiv that ended 0-0.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Tsarsko selo playing away and similar expectations, we found three relevant matches. Results were two Tsarsko wins, zero draws and one defeat.

After this away game Tsarsko return home for a Parva Liga game against Cherno More. That game is only four sleeps after this.

Tsarsko selo have the goal stats of 1-0 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last two meetings): Slavia won two games, zero matches ended with a draw and Tsarsko selo has zero wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: one / one
