NextGOAL tip: Lokomotiv Sofia 1929 (level) · 2 stars

Spartak Varna and Lokomotiv Sofia 1929 meet in a league match where neither side has found a win in a while. The hosts sit 8th and need three points to climb out of the mid-table zone, while the visitors are stuck in 13th and need points to avoid drifting further away. Spartak Varna have gone five matches without a win, but they have not lost in their last three. The defence has started to settle after being hit hard earlier. Meanwhile, Lokomotiv Sofia 1929 are still without a win this season, with four draws from nine matches, and they lost their most recent game. The visitors score about the same as the hosts but concede more. This looks like a game where both sides will trade chances reasonably openly, though the first half may differ from the second, as both teams tend to concede more late in matches than at other times. If the hosts score first, the game could open up, but if the visitors can defend and wait for counter-attacking chances, it has the makings of a tight finish.
