Team News: Lokomotiv Plovdiv
Availability isnโt a big problem, with just a single fitness concern for the Lokomotiv Plovdiv manager Duลกan Kosiฤ to be concerned about from a near full-strength set of players. Kristiyan Peshov (Cruciate ligament tear) is out of contention.

Prediction
Our feeling is that Spartak Varna might well have a job on their hands to hit the back of the net against this Lokomotiv Plovdiv side who we think will likely emerge victorious.
Thatโs why our selection here is for a hard-fought 1-0 advantage for Lokomotiv Plovdiv at the conclusion of the game.
Looking forward to this.
