Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Septemvri Simitli in 8th and Septemvri Sofia in 7th place.
Septemvri have less rest than Septemvri Sofia in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Bulgarian Cup game only four days ago. That game was an away game at Izvor Gorski izvor, so at least Septemvri are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
