Diogo Teixeira (33'), Spas Delev (35') and Yuliyan Nenov (90') scored for Lokomotiv Sofia.

Fixtures with Botev Vratsa have tended to be entertaining encounters of late with plenty of scoring the rule rather than the exception. Over their past 6 games, the sum total of 21 goals have gone in for both teams combined (at an average of 3.5 goals per game) with 10 of those being chalked up by Botev Vratsa. Despite that, we must now wait to see if that trend might be sustained here in this match.

📋 Team News: Botev Vratsa

There aren’t many personnel worries, with just a single fitness concern for the Botev Vratsa boss Hristo Yanev to contend with from an otherwise fully-primed group of players. Miroslav Marinov (Muscle fiber tear) is sidelined.

It seems likely that Botev Vratsa look set to go for a 4-5-1 formation for the game, utilising Dimitar Evtimov, David Suarez, Quentin Bena, Siriky Diabate, Martin Dichev, Ewerton Potiguar, Spas Georgiev, Mehdi Boukassi, Martin Smolenski, Daniel Genov and Brayan Perea.

ℹ️ Team News: Krumovgrad

Thanks to a mainly available group, there’s just the sole fitness problem for the Krumovgrad manager Rosen Kirilov to be concerned with. Lucas Santana (unknown injury) won’t be playing here.

We are inclined to think that Krumovgrad will likely begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 lineup with a starting lineup of Yanko Georgiev, Adrian Cova, Peter Guinari, Arhan Isuf, Lazar Marin, Catalin Itu, Imanol Alonso, Tiago Veiga, Aymen Sellouf, Momchil Tsvetanov and Ibrahim Keita.

🧠 Prediction

In this match, Krumovgrad are certainly able to find the back of the net against this Botev Vratsa side, however it might not quite prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.

We can see a close game with a 2-1 winning margin for Botev Vratsa by the time that the referee blows the final whistle. There shouldn’t be much in it, either way.
