📰 Team News: CSKA Sofia
We are thinking that The Army Men should make use of the 4-1-4-1 system in the match with Fedor Lapoukhov, Thibaut Vion, Adrian Lapena, Liam Cooper, Michael Pinto, Jonathan Lindseth, Ilian Iliev Jr., James Eto'o, Marcelino Carreazo, Olaus Jair Skarsem and Ioannis Pittas.
ℹ️ Team News: Lokomotiv Sofia
Owing to an otherwise full-strength group of players, there’s just the one fitness issue for the Lokomotiv Sofia boss Anton Velkov to contend with. Donaldo Acka (Torn knee ligaments) won’t be playing here.
It’s our belief that The Railwaymen will likely play in a 4-4-2 system with a starting lineup of Aleksandar Lyubenov, Athanasios Pitsolis, Bojidar Katsarov, Ryan Bidounga, P. Galchev, Krasimir Stanoev, Diogo Teixeira, Bruno Franco, Anisse Brrou, Octavio and Spas Delev.
💭 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.
