Recent stats:
Cherno More Varna
- Ilian Iliev, who has been in charge of the club since December 2017, is a master of setting up his side to suit the opponent and extracting as many points as possible from each fixture.
- His double pivot is solid, his defensive block is difficult to break down and his team can be ruthless on set pieces - so there is always the possibility that Cherno More can pinch a goal or three.
- Their most recent matches were a 1-0 home win over Montana and a 3-0 away win at Septemvri Sofia.
- They will attempt to disrupt Levski’s rhythm and counterattack with pace and direct play on Saturday.
Head-to-Head
Recent history suggests there will be chances at both ends in this fixture with each side winning two of the last five encounters and drawing once.
Key Players
Everton Bala has scored three goals in his last five appearances, helping drive Levski's recent scoring surge with his pace and energy.
