Spartak Varna
PFC Spartak Varna have gone 0-3-2 in their last 5 matches.
Lokomotiv Sofia
- PFC Lokomotiv Sofia have gone 0-2-3 in their last 5.
- Lokomotiv Sofia have drawn 4 and lost 1 of their 5 away trips.
Head-to-Head
- Spartak are in the bottom half of the Parva Liga 2026-2027 table with 10 points from 9 games and stand in 8th place, while the visitors sit 5 places lower on 4 points from 8.
- Lokomotiv have not won in their last 3 at Spartak.
- The last meeting in the home of the Falcons was a 3-0 win in the second half of the season in the relegation group.
- Lokomotiv have had a tough start to the season and are under new management as Lyuboslav Penev took over on 10 June 2026.
- Since then he has made the Railwaymen a much more organised and structured side, they don't press as much and their overall tempo is lower, but they are tough to break down.
Key Players
- Penev's side have scored 7 away goals in the league at an average of 1.40 per game, so they'll still have a sting to them, while Caue Caruso remains their main threat, having scored 3 goals in 5 matches.
- Spartak have had a decent start under Vasil Petrov, who took over on 25 August 2026, as they've put together an energetic and hungry team that likes to press.
- Spartak operate at a higher tempo than Lokomotiv, press more and get up the pitch to close down the opponent quicker than the more disciplined and patient Penev side.
Betting Insights
- Lokomotiv Sofia are slight favorites to win at 2.5, with Spartak Varna 2.6 and the draw 3.25.
- Lokomotiv will be a tough nut to crack on Sunday as they have been in the last few weeks.
Prediction
We'll go for the tie at 3.25 and a goal count under 2.5 for some insurance as this could be a tense affair.
