Late drama in the game against Cherno More as Tsarsko selo were trailing by a goal near the finishing line until Emanuil Manev popped out and made it level in the 84th minute. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Tsarsko matches with similar probabilities have ended with zero wins, zero draws and one defeat (from one game).
There will be little rest for Tsarsko after this match as they are travelling to Levski Sofia for a Parva Liga game in only four days.
