The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Vtora Liga this season. Neftohimik, who have the most conceded goals (49) in Vtora Liga, have only managed 0 wins, 3 draws and 7 losses from their games here at Gradski stadion. With ten home Vtora Liga games in a row without a win, the Neftohimik fans could feel they are not getting value for their money. It remains to be seen whether this unfortunate streak, which started after the Lokomotiv Sofia 1929 game long ago, can be stopped today.

Nothing to worry about in defence for Neftohimik, as their goalkeeper has completely shut out the opponents for 182 minutes in the Vtora Liga.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Lovech that ended 0-0.
