Match preview

CSKA 1948 host Lokomotiv Plovdiv in round seven of the First League regular season, with the two sides experiencing vastly contrasting starts to the campaign. The hosts sit fourth in the standings with 13 points from six matches, maintaining a perfect record on home soil having won all three of their fixtures while averaging 2.7 goals scored per match.

In stark contrast, Lokomotiv Plovdiv occupy 12th place in the relegation playoff zone, having collected just three points from their opening six games. The visitors have struggled significantly on their travels, losing all three away matches without registering a single goal scored while conceding four times.

Head-to-head history heavily favours CSKA 1948, who have won the last five competitive meetings between the clubs by an aggregate scoreline of 14-1, including 5-0 and 4-0 victories in their two most recent league clashes.
