APWin Prediction

Double Chance: Lokomotiv Plovdiv or Draw

After a thorough assessment of the primary betting markets, APWin analysts have identified bets with strong value potential.

👉 Our prediction is: over 9.5 corners

There should be no shortage of corners in the upcoming matchup of Lokomotiv Plovdiv vs Arda. Due to their styles of play, both sides have racked up the corners this season, and that is clearly reflected in their statistics.

We expect another high corner count match from both, so don't hesitate taking the total to reach over 9.5 corners.

👉 Our prediction is: Both teams don't score

Looking at the current form of both teams, betting the 'no' on the Both Teams to Score market seems like the smart way to go.

It's hard to see both teams getting goals in this match. The two defences have been quite solid, while the offences have had a hard time in front of goal. With that combination, this match could very well be a low-scoring affair with one or none of the teams finding the back of the net.
