Neftohimik failed to get anything from their last game, a Vtora Liga home match vs Maritsa Plovdiv (placed 1st) that ended with defeat 3-4. Leading 2-0 was not enough for Neftohimik in their fight with Maritsa Plovdiv last time out. Happy faces soon turned sour as mistakes flourished in what ended up a 3-4 loss. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Neftohimik, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun? Neftohimik were so close to getting something from the game against Maritsa Plovdiv, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal four minutes into overtime.
