Zoran Baldovaliev , Hristo Zlatinski (Loko Plovdiv)

Comment:
Lokomotiv Sofia played very well last season , and earned a Uefa place . I expect from them to do the same this year , and
to finish in top 4 . I still do not believe , that Loko has what it takes to win the championship , but he can still secure a
place in Europe . Main loss will be the departure of APFG Goalscorer , Tzvetan Genkov , who was sold to Dinamo Moscow . The
new atackers , Baldovaliev and Zlatinski , can replace Genkov , if they adapt fast in his new team . Baldovaliev is good
player , and can be key player for Loko . It would be interesting battle between Loko and Litex , these two teams are
expected to be close to title pretendents Levski and Cska , but still with very poor chances for the first place . Loko will
try to achieve some good results in Uefa cup , but the season is long , and I expect Lokomotiv to finish in top 4 , right now
they play better than Litex , so for me - Loko third , and Lovech on 4th place .

Marek Dupnitsa

In: Ivo Pargov (Naftex)
Alexander Goranov (Cska)
Milan Pavlovic (Radnicki)

Out: Tome (Litex)
Borislav Hazurov (Litex)
Stanislav Bachev , Yanko Kosturkov , Veselin Zdravkov , Nikolay Blagoev , Svetoslav Rizov , Ivaylo Petev (released)

Comment:
Marek is playing worse and worse with every new season , last season they survived luckily , but this season I will
not be so confident . First of all , they lost key players , and didn`t do anything about it . Second of all , I think that
the team is a little exhausted , they cannot give nothing more to APFG , and for me are main candidat for BPFG . Dupnitsa is
a hard place to visit , just like Sandanski , just like Petrich , places in South West Bulgaria are tough , with bad pitches
, and these teams rely very much on points , earned at home . Marek will try to do this again , this season , but I think
that it would be very hard . I expect to fight for their survival , and at the end of the season , to find themselves on a
place in the red zone . I feel sorry for them , but a 14-16 place is what I expect from Marek this season .
