CSKA-Sofia – Lokomotiv Plovdiv, Prediction – Efbet Liga

🟢 CSKA must react after the defeat in the big derby

CSKA failed to cope with Ludogorets in the derby and once again did not beat them and remained with only 1 success in Razgrad in the league so far in history. The difference with the Eagles became 6 points and the Reds still have to “chase the wild”. Jordy Caicedo made strong first matches for CSKA and even scored a goal, but said he was not coming to replace Ali Sow. Menno Koch also played one game. Overall, CSKA look in very good shape and despite the loss to Ludogorets we expect them not to give up.

⚽ Loko Plovdiv complicate their own lives

Loko Plovdiv lost all 3 matches of the season as a guest. Their only draw away from home came just after the break against Cherno More. Between the matches with Cherno More and Etar, in which Loko drew, the Smurfs defeated Ludogorets. That is why these draws with teams well below the level of Lokomotiv were so disappointing. The worst news for Lokomotiv is that Lukov got injured until the end of the season in the match with Etar, which is a huge blow to the team’s ambitions.

Last chance for CSKA in the battle for the title

 Expert view: There were a lot of comments about the referee and the refereeing in general around the match, but we don’t think that will have such an impact. The biggest trump card for CSKA is that Akrapović is a former coach of Lokomotiv Plovdiv. He won 3 trophies with the team, which are practically half the cups in the history of Loko. In general, it was Akrapović who built this team of Lokomotiv, so he knows them perfectly. Historically, CSKA often beats Loko at home and we believe that the favoring of the reds is not accidental in this match. We will give prediction of Victory for CSKA at 1.61.
