Lokomotiv (home)
Lokomotiv are unbeaten in their last five matches, but their record of 1-4-0 is somewhat marred by the four draws.
Slavia (away)
Slavia have had a poor run of late, winning just one of their last five Parva Liga Relegation Group matches ( D1, L3 ).
Head-to-Head
- The sides are level on points after 34 games, 43, with Slavia sitting above Lokomotiv in second by goal difference.
- This clash of Lokomotiv’s need to press and attack against Slavia’s need to sit back, stay disciplined and counter, could be an interesting tactical chess match.
- However, there will be plenty of transitions for both sides to get men behind each other’s defensive lines.
Key Players
- Lokomotiv boss Aleksandar Georgiev, recently appointed, will be hoping that his fresh tactical ideas can provide his team with an edge in this clash.
- He has a good player to make things happen in Spas Delev, who has three assists in his side’s last five games, and a ‘danger man’ up front in Georgi Minchev, who has bagged three of his team’s eight goals in the last five.
- Ivan Minchev is the man that pulls the strings for Slavia, but Lokomotiv haven't beaten Slavia in their last two meetings.
Betting Insights
- Home advantage and odds of 1.64 make Lokomotiv the favorites for this Parva Liga clash with Slavia Sofia, however, we’ll take the underdogs at 5.3 to claim all three points.
- Lokomotiv average 1.41 scored and 1.12 conceded per game at home, while Slavia have only netted 1.00 per away.
- Both teams to score is priced at 1.79, so we’re expecting goals at both ends of the field in this one, but the home side have a lot to gain and the better odds and we’re going with that.
