Win Probability: Rilski Sportist Samokov or Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa?

We calculated the win probabilities by first taking the average implied odds from three bookmakers. The raw odds-based chances were 44.4% for a home win, 37.9% for a draw, and 17.8% for an away win. After adjusting for current form, home/away performance, and league positions, we arrive at the following probabilities:

• Rilski Sportist Samokov win: 50%
• Draw: 30%
• Lokomotiv Gorna Oryahovitsa win: 20%

Rilski’s four wins in five games and a strong home record (4-1-1) justify the increase in their chances. Lokomotiv’s tendency to draw (three in last five) keeps the draw probability significant, but their lack of firepower away from home (only 3 goals in 5 away league matches) reduces their win likelihood. Overall, Rilski Sportist Samokov is the more probable winner.

Based on the stats, our prediction leans towards a home victory, but the draw cannot be ruled out given Lokomotiv’s recent resilience. A 1-0 or 2-1 scoreline in favor of Rilski Sportist Samokov appears plausible.
