A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The Lokomotiv Sofia 1929 fans are optimistic that the difference between 2nd and Yantra 1919's 14th place in the table will show on the pitch.

Insights:
  • Lokomotiv Sofia 1929 have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded.
  • Yantra 1919 have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored.

These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Vtora Liga. That game was an away game at Hebar 1918, so at least Lokomotiv are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!

Lokomotiv are battling for top spots and have everything to play for. Yantra are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.

Yantra 1919 form and stats

Yantra 1919 have only collected 8 points from their away games in the Vtora Liga, after 2-2-9 (13 played).

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Yantra goalkeeper Ivan Goshev is eager to challenge this, with his 244 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

Yantra had fun at their own home (Stadion Lokomotiv) last time out, beating Neftohimik 4-0. H. Kozhuharov, P. Kazakov (2) and I. Petkov scored.

As mentioned above, Yantra 1919 was the only team on the pitch versus Neftohimik in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task. Yantra delivered their win in the match against Neftohimik already in the first half, and could slow the play down in the final 45 minutes to ensure the glorious victory. A solid performance!

The visitors have scored 9 goals from 13 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. Yantra have conceded 27 goals in these games.
