Prediction
It looks to us that Lokomotiv Sofia certainly have the ability to create enough chances to score more than one against Hebar Pazardzhik, who will be up against it finding the net themselves.
We therefore think that it’s going to be a pretty comfortable 2-0 margin for Lokomotiv Sofia at full-time.
