General match analysis
CSKA 1948 Sofia are unbeaten at home, winning all 3 matches and scoring an average of 2.67 goals per game. Lokomotiv Plovdiv, meanwhile, have lost all 3 away matches, failed to score in any of them, and did not find the net in 100% of those fixtures. The hosts average 4.33 shots on target per game compared to the visitors’ 2.67, while also enjoying more possession, recording 53% against their opponents’ 45%. Over the last five rounds, CSKA have scored 9 goals, whereas Lokomotiv have managed just 3 and suffered as many as 4 defeats. Although the hosts allow opponents an xG of 1.54, Lokomotiv’s very poor away finishing record points to a clear advantage for CSKA 1948.
View the statistical overviewBTTS - will both teams score?
The strongest argument for BTTS - No is Lokomotiv Plovdiv’s attacking output: away from home, the team averages 0.0 goals per match and failed to score in 100% of such fixtures. The visitors’ current form does not improve this assessment either, as they have scored only 0.6 goals per game across their last five matches and recorded BTTS in 40% of cases. CSKA 1948 Sofia does concede an average of 1.5 goals at home, while its latest xG conceded stands at 1.79; however, Lokomotiv registers just 2.67 shots on target per match and has a finishing efficiency of 0%. The hosts should have significantly better conditions to score, with an average xG of 1.41 compared to the visitors’ 1.13, while they have scored 1.8 goals per game across their last five matches. Although CSKA has recorded BTTS in 80% of its last five matches, Lokomotiv’s extremely poor scoring consistency makes a scenario in which at least one team fails to score more likely.
View BTTS statisticsOver/Under - goals analysis
CSKA 1948 Sofia have averaged 1.8 goals scored over their last five matches, while Lokomotiv Plovdiv have managed just 0.6 goals per game during the same period. The visitors have yet to score in the current season data, with an average xG of 1.13, whereas the hosts allow opponents an xG of 1.45. Although CSKA have seen at least three goals in 60% of their last five matches, Lokomotiv have reached that mark in only 40% of games, and both teams have recorded Under 3.5 goals in 100% of their matches in the season data. The projected total of 2.30 goals points to a result closer to 2:0 or 2:1 than an open, four-goal game, making Under 3.5 the clearest value angle.
View Over/Under statisticsHT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario
The strongest scenario is a draw at half-time followed by a CSKA 1948 win at full-time, as the hosts were level at the break in all of their last five matches, while both teams averaged just 0.4 goals scored before half-time during this period. Lokomotiv were trailing at half-time in each of their three away matches, failed to score a single goal and conceded an average of 1.0 goal before the interval. Across their last five matches, CSKA 1948 averaged 1.8 goals compared with Lokomotiv’s 0.6, while the visitors lost 80% of those games. The hosts’ superiority is also evident in chance creation: their average xG stands at 1.41 compared with their opponents’ 1.13, and they average 4.0 shots on target against 2.67. After half-time, CSKA 1948 averaged 1.4 goals in their last five appearances, whereas Lokomotiv managed just 0.2, further strengthening the expectation of a second-half turnaround in the hosts’ favour.
