Maritsa Plovdiv form and stats

Maritsa Plovdiv are yet to lose a point on their Vtora Liga travels this season with 3 wins from 3 away games. Maritsa has been amazing away for a time now, winning five in a row on their travels. The last time they went home with a point loss was against Rozova dolina.

Home advantage was not enough for Maritsa in their previous game, as they lost their Vtora Liga-match, hosting Spartak Varna, 3-5. As you can tell from the result, the match against Spartak Varna was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 8 goals, will the fun continue today?

Ahead of that match was the victory versus Septemvri Sofia at their stadium, the result 2-1.
