A key match in Parva Liga as both teams are battling for the top positions. With Levski Sofia in 4th position and Lokomotiv Plovdiv placed 2nd, this promises to be an exciting meeting. Read on to find out more!
It's no vacation for neither Levski nor Lokomotiv Plovdiv as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
Levski Sofia form and stats
Levski Sofia have performed here at Vivacom Arena - Georgi Asparuhov this season with 9 wins from 13 Parva Liga matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 1 game and lost 3. Game days at Vivacom Arena - Georgi Asparuhov have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Levski Sofia as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
The fans are hoping that Levski will strike back in this match, putting things right after the 0-3 away loss in the Parva Liga game against Ludogorets. Before that game, the home loss against Slavia Sofia with the scoreline 1-2.
The Levski Sofia fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 23 goals in 13 league matches. From these home matches, Levski Sofia have conceded only 9 goals.
Lokomotiv Plovdiv form and stats
6-3-4 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Lokomotiv Plovdiv, who have the most scored goals (49) in Parva Liga, in their Parva Liga matches away. With the Lokomotiv Plovdiv losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
Lokomotiv Plovdiv might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. CSKA Sofia proved too strong as Lokomotiv Plovdiv slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at TBC (Bulgaria) (TBC). A 0-2 loss hosting Beroe before that.
Late heartbreak for Lokomotiv Plovdiv in the CSKA Sofia match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Lokomotiv playing away, we found two games. Results were zero away wins, zero draws and two home wins.
With an average of more than two away goals per league game away, Lokomotiv are regular goalscorers on their travels. As opposed to that, Lokomotiv have seen the ball go into their own net 17 times on the road.
