Form Guide, Head to Head, and Team News

The Balgarska Armiya Stadium will be buzzing as CSKA Sofia hosts Lokomotiv Plovdiv in Round 18 of the Parva Liga. Both sides are enjoying strong seasons, with Lok. Plovdiv sitting 3rd and CSKA Sofia hot on their heels in 4th. The home team is flying high, having secured five wins in their last five league matches. Lok. Plovdiv aren’t too far behind, with three wins and two draws in their last five, showing they’re no pushovers.

  • Head to head history leans slightly towards CSKA Sofia, who have 28 wins compared to Lok. Plovdiv’s 18, with 13 draws in their 59 meetings.
  • Recent duels, however, have favored Lok. Plovdiv, who have picked up three wins in the last five encounters.
  • The average goals per game between these two? A healthy 2.66—so goals are usually on the menu.

Looking at this season, CSKA Sofia averages 1.57 goals per match, while Lok. Plovdiv manages 1.19. Not exactly goal-fests, but both teams know how to find the net when it matters.

  • Key players to watch: Bruno Jordão (CSKA Sofia) and Dimitar Iliev (Lok. Plovdiv). Both have impressed with high Sofascore ratings and could be decisive.
  • On the injury front, CSKA Sofia’s Lumbardh Dellova is a question mark, but no confirmed absentees for either side as of November 30.

On the touchline, CSKA are under the guidance of Hristo Yanev, who’s brought a sense of stability since his September appointment. Lok. Plovdiv’s Dusan Kosic, in charge since late 2024, has also made his mark, keeping his team organized and competitive.

Tactics and Squad Value

Neither club has given away much about their tactical plans, but with CSKA Sofia’s squad valued at €17.55 million compared to Lok. Plovdiv’s €5.53 million, there’s a clear difference in resources. Expect CSKA to try and control the tempo at home, while Lok. Plovdiv will likely look to stay compact and hit on the break.

  • CSKA Sofia’s depth and attacking options could be the difference, especially in front of their passionate fans.
  • Lok. Plovdiv’s recent draw against Ludogorets showed they can frustrate even the best, so don’t expect them to roll over easily.

CSKA Sofia vs Lok. Plovdiv Prediction: AI Betting Tips & Final Score

Now, let’s get to what everyone’s here for—the CSKA Sofia vs Lok. Plovdiv prediction and betting tips. The bookmakers have made their feelings clear, with odds of 1.55 for a home win, 3.95 for a draw, and a whopping 7.0 if you fancy an away upset. Our AI model is siding with the bookies this time: a home win (1) is the best tip, with a confidence rating of 6.7 out of 10. Not a slam dunk, but pretty solid.

  1. Best bet: Home win (CSKA Sofia) at 1.55 odds. The AI gives this a trust rating of 6.7/10—think of it as a strong handshake, not a bear hug.
  2. Over/Under: Over 1.5 goals at 1.32 odds. The confidence here is lower (3/10), but with both teams’ scoring records and their head to head goal average, it’s a sensible shout.

If you’re feeling brave, the draw at 3.95 or an away win at 7.0 could tempt you, but the stats, team value, and current form all point to the home side. Lok. Plovdiv’s recent resilience—like holding Ludogorets to a draw—shows they’re tough, but CSKA Sofia’s winning streak and squad depth should prove decisive.

  • Over 1.5 goals is a safe add-on for your acca, given the head to head stats.
