Failure to reach last week’s number threatened Beroe out of the top 5. They will face one of their replacements when Etar arrives at Beroe Stadium.

Beroe was asked to arrive at Septemvri Sofia on Sunday (17/2) and then score 1-0 for the hosts. This nightmare was then fulfilled with Erol Erdal Alkan’s red card in the 72nd minute so that Beroe is now in 5th place with a difference of 3 points from Etar.

Yes, Etar managed to cut the distance thanks to a 3-0 victory over Dunav Ruse on the same day, thanks to Flo Bojaj, Daniel Mladenov, and Micho Angelov who each contributed one goal.

Apart from the euphoria, Etar is expected to remain vigilant because their 5 away matches have only one victory at Vereya headquarters, while the rest draw with Lokomotiv Plovdiv, even losing to CSKA Sofia PFC, Cherno More Varna and Levski Sofia. Meanwhile, Beroe suffered only one defeat in the last 4 home games when they hosted Varna, the rest winning over Slavia Sofia, Vereya and Levski.

The distance that is so close will make the tension of the match even hotter. Beroe got good capital despite only holding a 1-1 draw at Etar last September after 7 months before winning 2-1 as the host.
