Lokomotiv performs at its own level in the Bulgarian championship and at this stage is fighting with its rival for the ninth place in the First League. The railwaymen are still one point behind Botev, and if they win, they will displace their opponent one line lower. In the last round, Alexander Georgiev's team defeated Dobrudja on the road (3:0), and the match before they exchanged goals with Septemvri (1:1). The capital club takes the 10th place in the standings with 41 points in the asset.
Botev failed to compete for the top 8 this season and continues to struggle in the relegation group, where he is still the leader. The club from Vratsa ranks ninth in the First League standings with 42 points in the asset. In the last five rounds, the green lions won twice, drew the same number of matches and lost to CSKA-1948 (0:1). In the last match, Todor Simov's team won 2-1 over Spartak from Varna, and they had previously failed to beat Slavia (1-1).
Lokomotiv is the favorite in this match. If the hosts win today's meeting, they will displace the opponent from the ninth line and become the leaders of the relegation group. We hope that Georgiev's team will actively attack and take advantage of the game. The Sofia team has lost to Botev in the last three out of five games, but intends to take revenge for the last face-to-face defeat. Then the greens won (3:2). We believe that in their native penates, with the support of the fans, the railwaymen will not leave any chances for the club from Vratsa.
