Slavia (home)
- PFC Slavia Sofia - The Whites take on PFC Levski Sofia - The Blues at Aleksandar Shalamanov.
- Slavia have won 1, drawn 3, and lost 1 of their last 5 competitive games.
- Ratko Dostanic has set his Slavia side up in a 4-2-3-1 formation which is geared for staying compact, winning second balls and striking on the transition or at set pieces.
- Vasil Kazaldzhiev is a real spark for the Whites with 2 of their last 5 goals scored, but Slavia are by no means a possession or free-flowing team.
Levski (away)
- Levski have won 3, drawn 1, and lost 1 of their last 5 competitive games.
- Levski arrive on the back of a 3-0 away win against Botev Vratsa and a 1-1 away draw to Ludogorets, a decent bounce back to form for the Blues after their 4-0 loss away to AEK Athens in UEFA Champions League Qualification 2026.
- Levski's superior all-round quality has them in a much higher position in Parva Liga 2026-2027 with 15 points from 5 games in second place, whereas Slavia have just 6 points from 5 in ninth.
- Julio Velazquez has his side playing an extremely proactive possession-based game with a high defensive line and a pressing unit that will look to close down opponents at every opportunity.
- Their biggest weapons are their collective attacking prowess, but they will need to be very good in possession to dominate this matchup against a much more compact Slavia.
Head-to-Head
- Levski have won 2 of their last 3 visits to Slavia in the head-to-head.
- The 2025/2026 clash in this fixture saw Slavia run out 2-0 winners at home so the hosts will know how to land a punch if they need to.
Key Players
Vasil Kazaldzhiev is a real spark for the Whites with 2 of their last 5 goals scored.
