This is a vital battle in the bottom part of the Parva Liga, with both Tsarsko selo and Lokomotiv Plovdiv feeling more anxiety than pleasure. This fixture is a real "six-pointer" with the home team placed 10th and the guests in 14th place.

Insights:
  • Tsarsko selo have the fewest scored goals in the second half (1) in Parva Liga
  • Lokomotiv Plovdiv have the fewest scored goals in the first half (0) in Parva Liga

These are hectic days for the hometeam, as they had a game only four days ago in the Parva Liga. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Beroe.
