Gjokica Hadzievski’s Spartak Varna play an exciting and high-tempo brand of soccer which is full of initiative and is set up in a bold 4-3-3/4-2-3-1 formation. They like to press high up the field, and with their overlapping full-backs and high-energy wingers, they can create many chances. However, this does leave them open to the counterattack and this fixture could be a chess match between Spartak’s initiative and Lokomotiv’s structure.
Stanislav Genchev’s Lokomotiv Sofia are a much more pragmatic side. They like to set up with a compact 3-back structure and will look to remain solid, before hitting the opposition with pace and accuracy on the counter.
