The Lok. Sofia vs Arda prediction is on the minds of both sports betting fans and First League followers as these two sides prepare to meet at Stadion Lokomotiv on November 28, 2025, at 13:00 GMT. With both teams coming off surprising away wins, the betting odds are tight, and the head-to-head history adds extra intrigue to this contest.
Lokomotiv Sofia, or simply Lok. Sofia, have made headlines recently with the signing of former Liverpool winger Jordon Ibe. At 29, Ibe is looking to reignite his career in Bulgaria after spells in English non-league football. Lok. Sofia’s management is hopeful that his Premier League experience will bring a creative spark to a side currently sitting 11th in the First League. The club, with a proud history dating back to 1929 and four league titles to their name, is aiming to climb the table and recapture some of its former glory.
Arda Kardzhali, meanwhile, have been keeping a lower profile in the transfer market, with little news on player movements or injuries. However, their recent form speaks volumes. Just a few weeks ago, Arda stunned Ludogorets with a dramatic 3-2 away win, defying the betting odds of 7.5 and showing that they are not to be underestimated on the road. With a squad valued at €11.98m compared to Lok. Sofia’s €9.10m, Arda have the resources and depth to compete strongly in this fixture.
Looking at the head to head record, Arda have had the upper hand lately. In their most recent meeting on November 2, 2024, Arda came away with a 2-0 victory, underlining their ability to get results against Lok. Sofia. Both teams tend to play compact, disciplined football, with Lok. Sofia relying on quick transitions and Arda favoring a more balanced, possession-based approach. Neither side is known for high-scoring matches, which is reflected in the betting odds for under 2.5 goals.
