Lokomotiv Plovdiv prepare for this fixture after a 0-0 First League draw vs Krumovgrad.

Their most recent results shine a light on the fact that much respect should be given to the Lokomotiv Plovdiv rearguard. Lokomotiv Plovdiv have been mean at the back, resulting in the total number of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper during their last 6 matches standing at 4. We will have to see if that trend will be sustained in this game.

Coming into this clash, Lokomotiv Plovdiv have not emerged victorious against Ludogorets Razgrad in their last 9 league matches.

Looking at personnel, there is just the sole fitness concern for the Lokomotiv Plovdiv gaffer Dušan Kosič to contend with due to a largely intact group. Kristiyan Peshov (Cruciate ligament tear) will miss out.

It looks as if Smarfovete could use the 4-2-3-1 system for this one featuring Bojan Milosavljevic, Patryk Stepinski, Todor Pavlov, Kaloyan Kostov, Angel Lyaskov, Ivaylo Ivanov, Hristo Ivanov, Julien Lamy, Parvizdzhon Umarbaev, Vladimir Medved and Juan Perea.

📰 Team News: Ludogorets Razgrad

Thanks to a largely healthy group of players, there’s just the lone fitness worry for the Ludogorets Razgrad gaffer Igor Jovićević to contend with. Bernard Tekpetey (Fitness) won’t be playing here.

We reckon that The Eagles seem most likely to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 system, choosing Sergio Padt, Anton Nedyalkov, Edvin Kurtulus, Dinis Almeida, Son, Jakub Piotrowski, Pedro Naressi, Georgi Rusev, Todor Nedelev, Caio and Antoine Baroan.

💡 Prediction

We’re thinking that Ludogorets Razgrad should dominate possession and create several successful chances.

Conversely, Lokomotiv Plovdiv won’t find it easy to find the back of the net, although we do see them managing to get on the scoresheet as well here.

Accordingly, we see a 1-3 win for Ludogorets Razgrad when the referee blows the final whistle.
