Team News: Lokomotiv Sofia
Thanks to a largely full-strength squad, thereโs just a single fitness worry for the Lokomotiv Sofia manager Anton Velkov to be concerned with. Donaldo Acka (Torn knee ligaments) wonโt be in action.

Prediction
For this match, we think that CSKA Sofia look likely to fashion enough chances to find the net more than once while possibly not conceding when they play Lokomotiv Sofia, who might well find it difficult to get a goal of their own.
We reckon that it will be a comfortable 2-0 margin for CSKA Sofia at the end of the match.
