Septemvri Simitli form and stats

Septemvri Simitli have only collected 5 points from their away games in the Vtora Liga, after 1-2-6 (9 played).

Before that, Septemvri secured a home win against Ludogorets II with the score 2-1.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Septemvri manager S. Stoimenov as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Yantra 1919.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Septemvri as they have only managed to score 7 times from 9 away games in the league. The Septemvri Simitli manager S. Stoimenov has some worries about the defense as 22 goals have been conceded in these travels.
