Expected score: Pirin 28-30 NSA Sofia
PirinDrawNSA Sofia
Pirin travel to NSA Sofia on 24 October looking to arrest a difficult start to their A RHG campaign. The hosts, meanwhile, sit two places higher in the table and will be confident of extending their stronger record. This matchup pits a struggling side against one that has found some rhythm early in the season.
Team form
Pirin
NSA Sofia have made a solid start with 2 wins from their opening 3 games, collecting 4 points and sitting fifth in the standings. They scored 39 goals in a home win over HK Levski and followed that with an away victory at Dobrudja, putting up 32 goals. Their most recent outing saw them slip to a narrow 21-26 defeat at Lokomotiv Gorna, but over their last three matches they have averaged 30.7 goals scored and 28.0 conceded. That defensive record is encouraging and suggests they have the tools to control this encounter.
NSA Sofia
Pirin's opening month has been tougher. With just 1 win and 2 losses from 3 games, they sit eighth on 2 points. Their sole victory came at home against Shumen, where they scored 31 goals, but they have since suffered heavy defeats — losing 25-43 away at Lokomotiv Gorna and falling 28-33 to Osam Lovech last time out. Across these three outings, they have averaged 28.0 goals scored but conceded 32.3 per game, a concerning defensive vulnerability that will be tested by a Sofia side in better form.
Head-to-head
There is no head-to-head history between these two sides to draw upon, so this is fresh ground for both teams.
Key factors
NSA Sofia's defensive solidity in recent weeks — holding opponents to 28 goals per game on average — will be a key asset against a Pirin attack that has managed 28 per game but faces stiffer opposition here. Pirin's leaky defence, conceding over 32 per game, is a major concern when facing a Sofia side that has shown they can put the ball in the net consistently. The hosts' home advantage and superior league position add further weight to their case. Pirin will need to tighten up significantly to get anything from this trip, and their inconsistency so far — one big win and two heavy losses — suggests they may struggle to find that level of discipline.
Prediction
NSA Sofia are the favourite here. They have the better recent form, a stronger defensive record, and sit higher in the table. Pirin's defensive frailties make them vulnerable to a Sofia side that knows how to score. While Pirin showed they can win at home, their away record and overall fragility point to a Sofia victory as the more likely outcome. A close contest is possible, but the hosts should edge it.
NSA Sofia are favoured to win this encounter. Expect a competitive match with both sides capable of scoring, but Sofia's form and defensive discipline give them the edge over a Pirin side that has struggled to find consistency. A Sofia victory looks the most likely result.
