For those keeping score of past engagements, here's an eyebrow-raising revelation: in their last three encounters, PFC Lokomotiv 1926 II Plovdiv has emerged the hero twice. FC Rodopa Smolyan, not to be outdone in this tale of rivalry, managed to clinch one victory. But no draws! They apparently don’t fancy sharing.

The last tango between these teams was on Saturday, July 12th, and it was PFC Lokomotiv 1926 II Plovdiv who danced away with a 2-0 victory, leaving FC Rodopa Smolyan with two left feet. This win came in their home stadium, much to the chagrin of the visiting squad.

However, picture this: while PFC Lokomotiv 1926 II Plovdiv recently took a bit of a tumble with a 0-3 defeat against FC Sozopol Sozopol, FC Rodopa Smolyan waltzed past FC Neftohimik 1962 Burgas with a stylish 2-0 victory. The comedic twist here? Despite the ups and downs, PFC Lokomotiv languishes at position 16 in the domestic leagues, whereas FC Rodopa struts at a more elevated spot, coming in at number 12.

Anyone would say it’s important to ponder upon form and streaks when forecasting the future, but let’s keep our predictions simple: FC Rodopa Smolyan seems to have an edge, with recent form and their position on the league ladder pointing toward a potential celebratory samba post-game.
