Lokomotiv Plovdiv and Arda meet in a friendly with nothing at stake in the table, but the two teams come into the game in clearly different shape. The hosts closed out their recent run with a 1-1 draw after losing 0-2 before that, while the visitors also drew 1-1, but had lost 1-4 before that. Lokomotiv Plovdiv are in a spell where their attack is badly stuck, scoring just 5 goals in 10 league matches, while Arda have managed 15 goals from the same number of games. Although their defences concede about the same, the difference lies in turning chances into goals. Arda are likely to be the side that has to open up and attack, because they have better tools in attack and want to settle the game early, while Lokomotiv Plovdiv, who have scored little lately, will probably sit back and wait for counter-attacking moments. The game is likely to end with Arda edging the win.
