The Bulgarian public must wait until mid-February to be able to return to enjoying the league competition. Botev Plovdiv was determined to immediately win when visited by Slavia Sofia in the inaugural party at the Sporten Kompleks.

Currently Botev landed in 5th position with 35 points due to a 2-1 run at the PFC CSKA Sofia headquarters in the last match before the holiday. The long pause is expected not to damage the trend of home wins which last year closed with 5 consecutive wins against Dunav Ruse (4-1), Cherno More Varna (2-1), Septemvri Sofia (2-0), Beroe (4-1 ), and Vitosha Bistritsa (3-0).

Jumping into the next camp, Slavia managed to close the campaign in 2018 with a party of 4-0 over Vereya, but still stuck at number 9 with 24 points. The bad news, a 1-1 draw against Dunav was the best result in 5 away games yesterday, while the rest lost to Etar (3-0), Beroe (2-0), Vitosha (1-0), and Ludogorets Razgrad (2-0 ).

Victory will open the opportunity for Botev to overtake Beroe in 4th place which is only 1 point ahead at this time. The 1-1 draw closed their visit to the Slavic headquarters last September after 3 times being the host to secure a position 3-1, 1-1 and 2-1.
