Balkan have a solid series of four victories in a row. They maintain third place with 11-7 record having seven points less than leader Lukoil Academik. Rilski Sportist at the other side keeps the fourth position with nine games lost. Balkan are looking forward to face bottom-ranked Spartak (#8) in Pleven in the next round which should be theoretically an easy game. Rilski Sportist will play on the road against Chernomorets (#7) in Burgas and is hoping to prove to their supporters that the loss was just an accident.
