Comment:
Well , Pirin are newcomers this season , they reunited with a local team , also called Pirin , and now they will be looking
for a long and successful era in APFG . They were perfect last season , in our lower division , but in APFG it would be
harder . As a newcomer , Pirin`s first goal should be to survive . They are a decent team , not many stars in the squad , but
the boys there , are highly motivated to show what they can , so it would be interesting to see what are their abilities . I
haven`t watched them since their last game in APFG , in Plovdiv vs Botev , where they actually got relegated , but I heard
that team changed since then , and now it`s full with young players , talanted players , and of course , some older , with a
lot of experience , who should lead the team when hard times came . Pirin should fight for their survival , but at the end ,
I think that is more likely to finish on a place above the red zone . A place between 10 and 14th place /still there is a
possibility for Pirin to get relegated , but I don`t think that Pirin will be the poorest team this season/ .

Comment:
Slavia is a traditionaly upper mid-table team , with no ambitions for Euro place , and far away from relegation places .
This year won`t be different . Two big losses for the team - leading goalscorer Todor Kolev left for Bundesliga team Alemania
, and top defender Asen Karaslavov left for Second Bundesliga , and will be playing for Groiter Furt . The new signings , are
not top class players , but can be replacements . Bogomil Dyakov is a decent defender , Ortega is inteligent player , and
Viktor Sofroniev has a lot of experience . But , with these players , Slavia has no chance for top 4 position , they will try
to finish in top 6 , usually that`s what they are trying to do , to play well , and at the end of the season , to sold a key
player abroad , in last couple of seasons , it is in Germany Bundesliga . Slavia plays well in Sofia , but have this habbit ,
once sure for their elite status , they can give a point or three to a team , who`s fighting for survival , and needs the
points badly . Another decent season for Slavia , a place between 6th - 10th is what I expect .
