Sozopol vs Levski Krumovgrad - Third League - Southeast

The Third League - Southeast returns to the home ground on October 10, 2026, where Sozopol and Levski Krumovgrad will lock horns in a contest that could shape their respective campaigns. Manchester United play in Gothenburg on Saturday as they take on Paris-Saint Germain in their fourth pre-season fixture.

The two sides arrive with plenty to prove, and the Third League - Southeast contest at the home ground offers a chance to lay down a marker. The hosts have done enough without setting the world alight, LWDDL over their last five and a 44.44% win rate to their name. The visitors arrive in confident mood, their recent run of WWLWD backed by a season win rate of 100%. Their respective approaches this season have differed noticeably, and the tactical contrast could prove telling. The Saudi Pro League side have now placed a €45 million package on the table, while Watkins himself is understood to be open to making the move.

Set-piece efficiency could prove the difference on the night. Both Sozopol and Levski Krumovgrad have invested time in dead-ball situations this season, and a single corner or free-kick may settle it. It isn't clear yet that this will definitely be a winger, with Maresca and sporting director Hugo Viana flexible over their attack.

Star players on both sides will be eager to make their mark, and the individual duels across the pitch could go a long way to deciding the outcome. Whoever wins the individual duel between the two sides' chief playmakers is likely to dictate the rhythm and, ultimately, the destination of the points.

The fixture has the feel of a coin-flip, and picking a winner with any conviction would require a braver pundit than most. With the sides so closely matched, a 3-3 stalemate looks the most likely way this one ends. With the standings tight and form on the line, this is a fixture neither side will want to lose. In terms of outgoings, Perri seems closest to an exit, but that will likely have to wait until Trafford's mandated holiday after the World Cup is over or a No 2 arrives.
