Spartak Pleven form and stats

Let's have a look at how Spartak Pleven performed last season in the 3. League Northwest: They landed a 1st position in the league table after playing out 26 victories, 3 draws and 3 defeats. In total they scored 89 and conceded 19 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 13 - drew 1 and lost 2 with 46/12 goals scored/conceded.

The Spartak Pleven goalkeeper Bogomil Tsintsarski is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 180 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

Hristov, Karamfilov, Antonov and Shopov scored in Spartak Pleven's previous match, the home game against Maritsa Plovdiv that ended 4-0. As mentioned above, Spartak was the only team on the pitch versus Maritsa Plovdiv in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.

A 2-3 defeat away at Drenovets before that.

Head 2 Head
