Hebar vs PFK Levski Sofia

SOFIA, Bulgaria (Interstat) — A Bulgarian Cup matchup on Wednesday pits a red-hot First League power against a lower-division side looking to spring a monumental upset when PFK Levski Sofia visits Hebar in Pazardzhik.

Levski Sofia, one of Bulgaria’s most storied clubs, enters the contest in dominant form across all competitions, boasting a record of 9-1-1. They are riding a wave of confidence following a 3-1 road victory over Cherno More Varna on Oct. 19. Their lone loss this season was a narrow 1-0 defeat at Lokomotiv Plovdiv on Sept. 26.

Hebar, competing in the Second League, has experienced an inconsistent campaign with a 4-4-2 overall record. They advanced in the cup with a first-round victory and are coming off a 1-1 draw with Chernomorets on Saturday. Their season has been marked by erratic results, including an 8-1 win but also several multi-goal losses.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, Levski Sofia is projected to win 1-0. The matchup represents a classic clash of tiers, with the top-flight visitors heavily favored against a home side that will rely on a spirited performance and home-field advantage to challenge the odds.
