Slavia Sofia form and stats

Slavia Sofia, who have the most clean sheets (8) away in Parva Liga, have an excellent away record in the Parva Liga so far with 7-3-2 from 12 games. A great winning streak in away games for Slavia Sofia as they have managed to win four matches in a row as the visitors. Not since the CSKA Sofia have they travelled home without three points. The fact that Slavia Sofia have won four matches in a row should scare the hosts and makes this contest more interesting.

R. Kirilov and E. Viyachki scored in Slavia Sofia's previous match, the home game against Botev Plovdiv that ended 2-1. Before that one, a nice away victory 2-1 at Levski Sofia.

R. Kirilov came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Botev Plovdiv last time out, making the manager Z. Zagorčić feel like a tactical genius.

Slavia Sofia have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 12 league away games 13 goals have been scored. Slavia Sofia are tight as a drum on their travels, having allowed the opposition only 6 goals away.
