Game week two of the Vtora Liga campaign and the participants have digested the first fixture. Here's our Sozopol - Spartak Pleven match guide:
Both squads have had ample time to rest since their last competitive action. Let's look for an in-your-face fixture!
Sozopol form and stats
Last season, Sozopol's league stats were 9 wins, 12 draws and 15 losses, ending with 15th spot in the Vtora Liga. Over these 36 matches they scored 40 goals and conceded 56. Playing as the home side in the former season Sozopol generated 8-6-4 (win-draw-lost) with 25 goals and 23 conceded.
Sozopol haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 219 minutes ago. Parashkevov scored that one.
In their previous game, the manager Dimov led his Sozopol to a defeat away at Strumska slava. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Gradski stadion.
Ahead of that match, Sozopol lost 0-4 at home to Lovech.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
Head-2-head stats last four meetings: three - one - zero (Sozopol wins - draws - Spartak Pleven wins). As for goals, two matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), two had two or less.Top Goalscorers
