Lokomotiv Sofia

DWWDLD

Lokomotiv Sofia head into this fixture following on from a 1-1 First League drawn match versus Lokomotiv Plovdiv.

Lokomotiv Sofia have been quite ineffective in attack of late. Their sum of goals stands at just 4 versus opponents over the course of their previous six fixtures. In those games, Lokomotiv Sofia have also seen the number of goals that have gone against them come to 3.

CSKA Sofia

LWLLLL 📉

After tasting defeat last time out to Botev in First League competition, CSKA Sofia and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

The strike force from CSKA Sofia have had real problems scoring goals over their previous 6 encounters, contributing the unsatisfactory return of just 4. In those fixtures, The Army Men have also seen the collective goal aggregate of opposing teams equal 9. We will just have to see whether or not that trend can be continued on in this game.

🤜🤛 Head to head

An examination of their prior head to head clashes dating back to 02/12/2021 tells us that Lokomotiv Sofia have won 0 of these & CSKA Sofia 3, with the number of draws standing at 3.

An aggregate of 9 goals were shared by the two clubs throughout the course of those matches, with 2 from The Railwaymen and 7 belonging to The Army Men. That’s an average goals per game figure of 1.5.

ℹ️ Team News: Lokomotiv Sofia

Regarding absentees, there’s just one fitness concern for the Lokomotiv Sofia gaffer Ivan Kolev to contend with due to a largely intact group of players. Diogo Teixeira (Meniscus injury) is out of contention.

In our view, The Railwaymen may well make use of the 4-2-3-1 system for the game, beginning the first half with Aleksandar Lyubenov, Stephane Lambese, Dime Dimov, Mamadou Diarra, Bruno Franco, Krasimir Stanoev, Donaldo Acka, Celso, Simeon Slavchev, Yulian Nenov and Ante Aralica.

📋 Team News: CSKA Sofia

It’s our belief that The Army Men might play in a 4-2-3-1 system with a starting lineup of Gustavo Busatto, Thibaut Vion, Brayan Cordoba, Lumbardh Dellova, Michael Pinto, Marcelino Carreazo, James Eto'o, Jason Lokilo, Jonathan Lindseth, Matthias Phaeton and Goduine Koyalipou.

💭 Prediction

In this match, Lokomotiv Sofia have it within them to score a goal against this CSKA Sofia outfit, however a single goal possibly won’t be enough to avoid defeat.

We’re going for a very close game with a 1-2 victory for CSKA Sofia at full-time. Should be a good one.
