Septemvri Sofia

WWLLLL 📉

Septemvri Sofia will be hoping for a better result after the 3-0 First League losing effort in their last game against Lokomotiv Sofia.

Krasimir Stanoev (36'), Dominic Yankov (45') and Ryan Bidounga (49') scored for Lokomotiv Sofia.

An interesting characteristic of more recent Septemvri Sofia games is the number of nil scores.

Taking their prior sextet of clashes leading up to this one, in 6 of them a bet on both teams scoring would have been a losing one. Even so, we’ll just have to find out if that trend shall persist here in this match.

ℹ️ Team News: Septemvri Sofia

It looks as if The Septembrians will probably use the 4-4-2 formation for the game, utilising Nikolay Krastev, Martin Hristov, Kubrat Onasci, Dominik Ivkic, Robin Schouten, Yoan Baurenski, Valon Hamdiu, Sebas Wade, Galin Ivanov, Edney Ribeiro and Bertrand Fourrier.

🗞️ Team News: Arda Kardzhali

Due to a mostly available squad, there is only the sole fitness issue for the Arda Kardzhali gaffer Aleksandar Tunchev to be concerned about. Georgi Nikolov (Cruciate ligament surgery) won’t be playing here. David Idowu will not be able to play in this game through being suspended.

We believe The Vallecans seem likely to elect for a 4-2-3-1 formation with a starting lineup of Anatoli Gospodinov, Gustavo Cascardo, Felix Eboa, Emil Viyachki, Vyacheslav Velev, Lachezar Kotev, Calal Huseynov, Birsent Karagaren, Serkan Yusein, Atanas Kabov and Wilson Samake.

🧠 Prediction

In our view, Septemvri Sofia will have to work hard as a team to score against this Arda Kardzhali side who will likely just have the edge.

We’ve gone for a very even match with a 0-1 win for Arda Kardzhali after 90 minutes.

Let’s see how this one goes.
