Preview

Match preview

Slavia Sofia welcome Spartak Varna to the capital in round nine of the First League, with just one point separating the two sides in the middle of the table. Slavia Sofia enter the contest sitting sixth with 10 points from eight matches, having shown resilient defensive form throughout the campaign with only six goals conceded overall.

Spartak Varna sit in eighth position on nine points and will be looking to halt a five-match winless sequence. While the visitors have picked up successive 1-1 home draws against CSKA Sofia and Ludogorets in their last two outings, their travels have been problematic, yielding nine goals conceded across three away fixtures.

Slavia Sofia have proved difficult to break down, though three of their four home matches have ended in draws. Given Spartak Varna's defensive vulnerabilities on the road and Slavia Sofia's disciplined structure, the hosts appear well positioned to secure at least a point.
