Pirin

LLLDWD

Pirin will be looking for an improved result here after a 0-1 First League loss in their previous game against Lokomotiv Sofia.

Alan Dias (27') was the scorer for Lokomotiv Sofia.

A recurring feature of more recent Pirin games is the number of nil scores.

From their prior sextet of clashes leading up to this one, in 5 of them a wager on both teams scoring would have been a losing one. We will find out if that trend will end up being sustained into this next match.

Lokomotiv Sofia

WDLWLW

In the course of their 6 latest matches, Stanislav Genchev's Lokomotiv Sofia have slotted home 10 times, yielding them the goals scored per game average of 1.67.

Their past results show that Lokomotiv Sofia:

• have not emerged victorious against Pirin in games played away from home for the previous 4 league matches. Not good.
• have not won away from home in their last 2 league matches.

👥 Head to head

Checking out their prior head to head meetings going back to 11/09/2010, there has been little to separate the clubs with Pirin winning 3 of those games, Lokomotiv Sofia 3 and 0 being draws in normal time.

🗞️ Team News: Pirin

The Pirin boss Krasimir Petrov does not have any fitness worries whatsoever coming into this match owing to a fully healthy squad to choose from.

It seems likely that Orletata look set to use the 4-1-4-1 formation this time with Yanko Georgiev, Vyacheslav Velev, Aleksandar Dyulgerov, Nikolay Bodurov, Hristofor Hubchev, Ventsislav Bengyuzov, Cebrails Makreckis, Krasimir Stanoev, Radoslav Tsonev, Ivan Tasev and Stanislav Kostov.

🗞️ Team News: Lokomotiv Sofia

Thanks to a fully injury-free group available to select from, the Lokomotiv Sofia boss Stanislav Genchev does not have any fitness concerns at all coming into this clash. Kadu is ineligible for this match because of suspension.

It’s our belief that The Railwaymen could decide to utilise a 3-4-1-2 system, giving starts to Aleksandar Lyubenov, Alan, Bojidar Katsarov, Kamen Hadzhiev, Celso, Ivaylo Naydenov, Simeon Slavchev, Krasimir Miloshev, Antonio Vutov, Dimitar Mitkov and Franca.

✨ Prediction

We’re of the view that Lokomotiv Sofia have enough to put a goal past this Pirin outfit, although that might not be as many as the goals that they could concede.

We’re expecting a very close game with a 2-1 winning margin for Pirin after 90 minutes. Looking forward to this.
