Lokomotiv Plovdiv and Slavia Sofia meet often enough to be considered familiar opponents, and in the last six meetings the hosts have picked up as many as four wins, including the most recent one where they went away and won 2-0. This time, though, the pattern looks a little different, because both sides have just come through cup and friendly fixtures alternating with the league in a stop-start manner. Lokomotiv Plovdiv return home with confidence after winning two in a row in the cup and going unbeaten in five. Their attack is not exactly prolific, but winning by a margin of one goal or more in three of their last five (2-0, 2-0, 1-0) shows they know how to close out a game when they have the advantage. As for Slavia Sofia, this season they have drawn as many as five of eleven matches, and they had just lost 0-1 in the league in their most recent outing before going on to win 3-0 in the cup. Their away games therefore tend to finish narrowly. If Lokomotiv Plovdiv can take the lead first, the game will likely be squeezed into tight areas and end with a small margin, because Slavia Sofia do not blow opponents away easily, while the hosts do not throw everything forward to the point of taking undue risks.
