ℹ️ Team News: Levski Sofia

It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just the sole fitness concern for the Levski Sofia gaffer Nikolay Kostov to be concerned about thanks to an almost full-strength set of players. Bilal Bari (Knee Surgery) won’t play.

We are thinking that The Blue Avalanche will possibly make use of the 4-1-4-1 formation for this game and select Plamen Andreev, P. Galchev, Kristian Dimitrov, Jose Cordoba, Tsunami, Andrian Kraev, Ronaldo Cesar, Hassimi Fadiga, Jawad El Jemili, Welton and Ricardinho.

📋 Team News: Etar Veliko Tarnovo

With a completely healthy squad available to select from, the Etar Veliko Tarnovo manager Emanuel Lukanov doesn’t have any fitness worries to speak of ahead of this clash. Players who are serving a ban and are therefore ineligible to play are Luis Córdova and Mariyan Ivanov.

From our viewpoint, The Boyans might utilise a 3-2-4-1 system, starting Martin Velichkov, Georgi Aleksandrov, Plamen Dimov, Georgi Angelov, Valeri Hristov, Krum Stoyanov, Kolyo Stanev, Yanko Angelov, Martin Moran, Dimo Bakalov and Ivaylo Dimitrov.
