Levski meets Black Sea today in one of the most interesting matches in the round. Especially against the “sailors“ there is hope for Nikolay Kostov's team. Firstly, because he himself has won two of the two home games against Varna in his two stays at the club. In the current season of “Gerena“ Levski achieved one of his only two victories against a Top 6 team so far, namely against “sailors” – 1:0 in the fall. However, the last championship match between the two teams ended 3:1 for Black Sea at "Ticha", reports sportal.bg.
The statistics show something very curious. And that is that the Varna team has never won two consecutive championship matches against Levski in its history. The victories of the “sailors” above the “blue“ there are 22 in the elite, and in the 21 cases so far, the next fight most often ends with a victory for Levski. This has happened 17 times, and the most frequent final result is 1:0 for the “blues” – as many as 7 times. The second most common result is 3:0 in their favor – 3 times. In four of the clashes, after a victory for Varna, a draw was reached.
Black Sea is the only big club in Bulgaria that has never beaten Levski in the championship twice in a row. The record streak against the “blues” held by Ludogorets. “The Eagles“ recorded 8 consecutive wins against them between 2019 and 2022. CSKA has 6 consecutive successes in 2013 and 2014. Third is the series of Lokomotiv (Sf) between 2008 and 2010, and in this period the “red-black“ won this capital derby 5 times in a row.
The case of Dobruja is interesting. “The yellow-green“ have two consecutive victories over Levski, but they are separated from each other by 22 years. In 1969, they were relegated, but they beat the “blues” with 3:0, and upon his return in the fall of 1991 – win 1:0, again as home team. Marek, Neftohimik, Botev Pd and Beroe have reached 4 consecutive victories over Levski.
There are quite a few teams that have never won against the “blues” in the elite. Among them, Montana made the most unsuccessful attempts – 22 matches.
