Septemvri Sofia form and stats

Septemvri Sofia have been very solid at home in the Vtora Liga so far, with 18 points collected from 7 matches (6-0-1). This has contributed greatly to their 5th position in the table. Septemvri Sofia has won so many consecutive home games (five in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Stadion Dragalevtsi. We remember; it was Maritsa Plovdiv.

Septemvri are confident in defense, having played 187 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.

It's back home for Septemvri, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Botev Plovdiv II away with the result 3-0.

Before that game, the 5-0 home victory against Sozopol.

Septemvri are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found four matches and the win/draw/lost stats: Won four, drew zero and lost zero.

With more than three goals on average, the attacking play of Septemvri is on fire here. A stunning 25 from 7 league matches. Septemvri have conceded 7 in these home matches.

Sportist Svoge form and stats

Sportist Svoge's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Sportist Svoge collect 15 points from their 7 away matches in the Vtora Liga. 5 victories and 0 draws have created these points (and only 2 defeats). It could be a hat trick of victories away for Sportist, as they have won on their previous two travels.

201 minutes! That's how long the Sportist goalkeeper and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

The supporters enjoyed Sportist's previous game versus Strumska slava (placed 7th), a Vtora Liga 1-0 win played at home.

Before that one, a nice away victory 1-0 at Neftohimik.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Sportist played away with similar odds. This revealed four games. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, two were draws and the home team won as expected two times.

The attacking power of Sportist when travelling is not overwhelming with 6 goals scored from 7 league matches away. 7 goals have been conceded by Sportist Svoge in these games.
