Prediction
In our view, Lokomotiv Sofia must be fancied to score against this Botev team, however it probably won’t prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end.
We reckon that it will be both teams to score in a 2-1 winning margin for Botev when all is said and done. Definitely a tough call.
