Lokomotiv Sofia 1929 host Lokomotiv Plovdiv in a game where both sides have 7 points from 10 matches, separated only by their latest results, with the hosts having just won 1-0 to close out a five-match stretch of two draws and two defeats, while the visitors just won 2-0 in a friendly after a spell of two defeats in three league games. Lokomotiv Sofia 1929 are still a team whose attack rarely produces goals, and their defence is not particularly tight either, scoring 11 and conceding 18 in 10 matches, while Lokomotiv Plovdiv have clearer problems still, scoring just 5 and conceding 13 in the same number of games, but they are unbeaten in their last two league matches and kept a clean sheet at home in their most recent outing. This looks like a game where both sides will trade spells of possession without long stretches of control, and chances will come in bursts rather than through sustained pressure. If the hosts score first the game will become even more of a grind, but if the visitors can defend and wait for counter-attacking moments, the game is likely to finish with a narrow margin, which is the path that keeps Lokomotiv Plovdiv in the game until the final minute.
