Lokomotiv Sofia 1929 form and stats

Still no away game victory in the Parva Liga for Lokomotiv Sofia 1929 with 1 draw and 2 losses from their first 3 attempts.

Lokomotiv play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-5 to Ludogorets (placed 3rd). As you can see from the result above, the defeat against Ludogorets was particularly ugly (0-5). The humiliation is still top of mind.

Preceding that game, the 1-1 draw paying a visit to CSKA 1948 Sofia.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Lokomotiv's away games in the league this season with only 1 goal from 3 matches. The Lokomotiv Sofia 1929 manager I. Venkov Kolev has some worries about the defense as 7 goals have been conceded in these travels.
