CSKA will hope to revive after the break for the national teams. The first obstacle is against Lokomotiv Sofia away from home.
Is it time for the "reds" to explode?
Alexander Tomaš's debut was overshadowed by the defeat against Botev Plovdiv, but usually in the second match and beyond the real improvement begins, so there is no place for panic. The specialist had two weeks to work with his team to try to tighten the ranks and improve CSKA's overall condition. Let's see if this will be seen during the visit to "Nadezhda". The hosts have performed stronger away so far, having suffered some defeats at home.
Bet on CSKA to win with over 1.5 goals
I expect the guests to take their second victory of the season overall.

The meeting is highly anticipated by the fans of the guests, who for the first time in full scale will be able to support their favorites, who have definitely not pleased them with their performances so far this season. The team of CSKA-Sofia occupies the unfortunate second-to-last place in the First League. They play poorly and that is why the team made drastic decisions and replaced Tomislav Stipic, appointing Alexander Tomash as head coach. Well, Tomash debuted with a 0:1 defeat against Botev Plovdiv, again at the Nadezhda Stadium, but this happened just two days after taking over. This was followed by the break for national teams, where it is clear that a lot of work has been done and now the "reds" are returning back to the domestic scene, where they will definitely have to improve their performance in order to look more confidently towards the top positions.
On the other hand, Lokomotiv Sofia plays great football under Ivan Kolev so far this season. The team is liked by the neutral viewer, although they have only 9 points after 7 games played, but definitely, even in the 1:6 loss to Levski in the first round, they provided beautiful things on the field. Yes, the heavy loss at the end is like a loud slap, but Loko Sofia definitely has a stable team that can oppose the best in our country.
Nevertheless, I believe that the time for work and reaction at "reds" must be mandatory in this visit to Sofia and I think that CSKA will manage to reach victory in this match, for several reasons. The team has quality, made a very serious selection and I believe that these players will be able to compete against Lokomotiv Sofia's team in the Nadezhda neighborhood. However, I believe that Lokomotiv Sofia will score a goal. My prediction for the match is a victory for CSKA-Sofia, but also to see goals in both nets.
