Team News: Krumovgrad
Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just the lone fitness concern for the Krumovgrad gaffer Stanislav Genchev to be concerned with thanks to an almost full-strength set of players. Aleksandar Georgiev (Internal ligament strain) is out of contention. Dimitar Tonev is ineligible for this match because of suspension.
Team News: Slavia Sofia
Due to a mostly healthy group of players, there is just the one fitness issue for the Slavia Sofia manager Zlatomir Zagorčić to be concerned about. Denislav Aleksandrov (unknown injury) won’t be playing here.
Prediction
We’ve got the feeling that Slavia Sofia and Krumovgrad should both get enough opportunities to score, although it’s hard to separate the two.
We’ll see, but this looks like it could end up all-square. That is why we are leaning toward a 1-1 score draw at the end of this game.
