PirinDrawNSA Sofia
Pirin hosts NSA Sofia in the A RHG on 24 October in a matchup between two sides heading in opposite directions. The visitors sit fifth with 4 points from three games, while the hosts occupy eighth place with just 2 points. This fixture offers NSA Sofia a chance to extend their winning streak, while Pirin desperately need to arrest a troubling run of form.
Team form
Pirin
Pirin have won just once in their opening three matches, beating Shumen 31-21 at home on 10 October. That victory masks deeper problems: they lost 28-33 away to Osam Lovech last time out and suffered a heavy 25-43 defeat at Lokomotiv Gorna a fortnight earlier. Over these three games, they've averaged 28.0 goals scored but conceded 32.3 per game—a defensive fragility that has left them struggling near the bottom of the table. Their single win came against a side they outmatched, but consistency remains elusive.
NSA Sofia
NSA Sofia present a more balanced picture. They've claimed two wins from three, including a commanding 39-32 victory over HK Levski at home on 3 October and a 32-26 away success at Dobrudja a week later. Their only setback came most recently, a 21-26 loss at Lokomotiv Gorna on 18 October. Across their three matches, they've scored 30.7 goals per game while conceding 28.0—a more controlled defensive record than their opponents. The visitors have shown they can win on the road and maintain discipline under pressure.
Head-to-head
No head-to-head record exists between these sides in the available data.
Key factors
NSA Sofia's superior defensive record is the standout metric here. Conceding 28.0 per game compared to Pirin's 32.3 suggests the visitors have better structural organisation at the back. Pirin's home advantage is real—they beat Shumen convincingly on their own court—but NSA Sofia have proven they can win away. The visitors' recent form is also steadier: two wins in three versus Pirin's one win in three. NSA Sofia's attacking output of 30.7 goals per game slightly edges Pirin's 28.0, giving them a marginal edge in both phases of play.
Prediction
NSA Sofia enter as the favourite despite playing away. Their two wins in three matches, combined with a more disciplined defence and slightly higher scoring rate, position them as the more likely winner. Pirin's defensive vulnerabilities—particularly the 43-goal capitulation at Lokomotiv Gorna—suggest they will struggle to contain a visiting side that has shown consistency and control. The visitors' ability to win on the road strengthens their case further. A close contest is expected, with NSA Sofia's marginal advantages in form and defensive solidity likely to prove decisive.
NSA Sofia are the favourite to take the points. Expect a tight match, but the visitors' superior recent form and more reliable defence should edge them through in what looks to be a fairly competitive encounter.
