In their last championship game, the Eagles tied 0:0 during the visit of Arda in Kardzhali. Thus, Krasimir Petrov's team is now three games in a row without a loss, in which he kept a clean sheet twice and collected five points.
The upcoming rival Lokomotiv (Sofia) is on the rise. The Railwaymen have won two of their last three games, including in the last round, in which they defeated Levski v 3:2.
Vencislav Benguyuzov returns to the group for the match at the Hristo Botev Stadium, who served his punishment for the red card against Botev (Vratsa), as well as captain Nikolay Bodurov, who until recently was recovering from an injury. Petar Zanev misses the match, who was replaced in the match with Arda, because of a blow to the head.
"One of the things, that I want to continue as a trend in our game is our defensive performance. We must be careful and concentrated and not make mistakes, who, as we saw earlier in the season, they cost us points and, accordingly, the opportunity to be higher in the standings. The team trains with great desire, the boys are ambitious to further improve the game and the results, which of course makes me happy. Lokomotiv beat Levski in the last round, and this is telling. The results, achieved by them so far are not a coincidence at all, but the fruit of a good game and accurate decisions on the field. We must continue to develop, and that goes through wins and good games", Pirin head coach Krasimir Petrov told www.fcpirin.com.
