Lokomotiv Sofia
- The home side are winless in their last five Parva liga 2025/2026 matches (Drawn 2, lost 3).
- They have managed just 1 win, 3 draws and 1 loss in their five home fixtures this season.
- Stanislav Genchev was appointed head coach of Lokomotiv Sofia in May 2025 and has set his side up to be pragmatic, compact, and hard to break down, with the hosts playing in a 3-5-2 or 4-4-2 and looking to hold opponents off with a low defensive block, an organised defence and fast counters from their wide defensive players, as noted in our PFC Lokomotiv Sofia vs FC CSKA 1948 betting tips.
CSKA 1948
- CSKA 1948 are second in the Parva liga 2025/2026 table with 23 points from 11 games, whilst Lokomotiv Sofia are ninth with 12 from 11.
- CSKA 1948, on the other hand, are in great form, winning 3, drawing 1 and losing just 1 of their last 5 league games, which makes the PFC Lokomotiv Sofia vs FC CSKA 1948 prediction particularly intriguing.
- Ivan Stoyanov took charge of CSKA 1948 in April 2025 and his direct style of soccer, which focuses on quick combinations through the centre, fast transitions and a focal point striker, has started to bear fruit.

Betting Insights
- CSKA 1948 will have to be cautious of Lokomotiv Sofia’s stingy defence when they visit the Lokomotiv Stadium on Sunday and it may pay off to back under 2.5 goals in this Parva liga 2025/2026 encounter at 1.69, as highlighted in our PFC Lokomotiv Sofia vs FC CSKA 1948 betting tips.
- A home win for Lokomotiv is 3.75, CSKA 1948 are 2.02 and the draw 3.2.
Prediction
- CSKA 1948 will have a go in this game, particularly as they come up against a Lokomotiv side who have been so poor on home soil this summer, winning just once, drawing three and losing once in Parva liga 2025/2026.
- However, we expect Lokomotiv to play deep and frustrate the CSKA attack in the center of the park.
- CSKA 1948 will have to make the most of their wingers, whilst Lokomotiv will look to counter with their defensive wing-backs.
