Venue: Tsarsko selo Complex (2000 seats)

The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. Tsarsko selo are in the 8th position while the guesting Slavia Sofia worry at 11th.

Insights:
  • Tsarsko selo have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
  • Slavia Sofia have the fewest matches over the total-line (7) in Parva Liga

It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Bulgarian Cup.

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 Tsarsko selo fans got no joy from their last match, a Bulgarian Cup game also here at Tsarsko Complex: A 1-2 defeat against Ludogorets (placed 1st). In the game before, an away victory in the Parva Liga match versus Botev Vratsa with a 3-0 scoreline.
