Slavia Sofia have proved difficult to defeat this season, losing just once in five league matches and remaining unbeaten at home with draws against CSKA Sofia and Lokomotiv Sofia. Coming off an away draw at Ludogorets and a 3-0 away win at Botev Vratsa, Slavia carry positive momentum and a strong defensive foundation, having conceded only three goals in five outings.

Match preview
Slavia Sofia host city rivals Septemvri Sofia at the Stadion Aleksandar Shalamanov in round seven of the First League. The hosts sit ninth in the table with six points from five matches, having built their campaign on a resilient defensive structure that has conceded just three goals all season. Slavia enter this clash after securing an impressive 1-1 draw away at Ludogorets, following a convincing 3-0 victory over Botev Vratsa.
Septemvri Sofia occupy eighth place with seven points from six fixtures, having recently reversed a difficult run of form. After suffering three consecutive defeats where they conceded eight goals, Septemvri picked up back-to-back 1-0 victories against Spartak Varna and CSKA 1948 to restore stability.
While historical head-to-head encounters between these two Sofia clubs have produced plenty of goals, Slavia Sofia's current compact shape and defensive record of 0.6 goals conceded per game make them difficult to break down on home soil.
