Player ratings19 Oct 2026

Úmaro Baldé runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 39. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match17 Oct 2026

11 unbeaten for Slavia Sofia

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 11 matches without defeat is a foundation Slavia Sofia did not have in the autumn.

Squad19 Oct 2026

Words exchanged at Slavia Sofia

Marko Miletić and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Match17 Oct 2026

The run is over for Slavia Sofia

4 matches without defeat, and then Lokomotiv Sofia. Nobody at the ground pretended it would go on forever; nobody expected it to stop here either.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

The manager makes an example of David Malembana

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

Spas Ivanov on the point

“A point is a point and I will take it, but we should have had all three.” Spas Ivanov after the 0‑0 draw, and the sentence every manager in the country said at some stage this weekend.

The dugout19 Oct 2026

Somebody else is better right now than Krasimir Miloshev

The team sheet says it in public every week until it changes. The only version of being dropped a footballer cannot argue with, and the one he takes hardest.

Market19 Oct 2026

Ivan Andonov is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Slavia Sofia has been clear about where Ivan Andonov stands, which is more than many ever get.

Match17 Oct 2026

No goals between Slavia Sofia and Lokomotiv Sofia

Ninety minutes, two goalkeepers with clean gloves, and not one finish worth keeping. Lokomotiv Sofia will be the happier side with the point.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Úmaro Baldé stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Úmaro Baldé and Slavia Sofia agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Ventsislav Kerchev in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Slavia Sofia this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Boris Todorov pulls a muscle — 14 days out

The injury that keeps coming back, keeps being rushed back from, and quietly costs more careers than the dramatic ones. 14 days is the estimate; the honest figure depends on whether anybody is patient.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

When it matters, Jordan Semedo Varela plays

It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

Looking ahead12 Oct 2026

Iliyan Stefanov goes back to face Lokomotiv Sofia

Every squad has one of these fixtures for somebody every season. This one is Iliyan Stefanov’s: the club that knew him first, the supporters who will decide in the first minute whether to applaud, and Slavia Sofia needing him to play as if none of it matters.

Market12 Oct 2026

Vladimir Nikolov linked with a move away

The name of Vladimir Nikolov keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Slavia Sofia say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

Krasimir Miloshev has been promised minutes

A conversation in the manager’s office, and a commitment that came out of it. Promises like that are cheap to make and expensive to break, and Krasimir Miloshev has written the date down.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Lazar Marin wants to know why he earns less

Numbers do not stay secret in a dressing room. He is not asking for more than he is worth; he is asking why somebody beside him is worth more, and Slavia Sofia have no good answer.

Loan watch12 Oct 2026

Yoan Bornosuzov keeps scoring at Metalurh Zaporizhzhia

8 appearances away from home and 3 goals to show for them. Every one of them makes next summer's conversation a little more expensive.

Match3 Oct 2026

Slavia Sofia tear Beroe apart

Rarely has this fixture seen a display like it: 3‑0 against Beroe, and it could have been more.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

A brace, and Vladimir Nikolov takes the afternoon — 9.02

There is a particular kind of quiet from an away end watching one man score twice. Vladimir Nikolov provided it, and the 9.02 beside his name is if anything generous to everybody else.

Match5 Oct 2026

Slavia Sofia up to position 3

19 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Age has not caught Diego Ferraresso yet — 7.82

At 34 he is supposed to be managing his minutes. Instead he was marked 7.82 and looked, for ninety minutes, exactly like the player everybody remembers.

Match3 Oct 2026

Nobody wants to play Slavia Sofia right now

4 wins in a row changes how opponents warm up: quieter, more glances across. Runs end, everybody knows that — but nobody in this dressing room is planning for it.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Úmaro Baldé was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 24. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Real improvement from Ivan Andonov at Slavia Sofia

Form comes and goes; this has not gone. Ivan Andonov is 22, and the version of him training now would not have got into the side he was in a year ago.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Slavia Sofia

Krasimir Miloshev was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Emil Stoev in the eights

A performance of 8.15 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.
