The owner of Lokomotiv Sofia, Ivan Vassilev, officially confirmed that he will no longer support the team! The reason for his resignation is the angry Lokomotiv fans who accuse him of manipulating the team\'s matches and the negative results lately. On top of that, the coach Stanislav Genchev will also leave after the end of the season, but it is expected to happen earlier because of the tense situation. In general, \"bright days\" do not await Lokomotiv, and if a miracle does not happen, the team may declare bankruptcy, as happened years ago. With all this nightmarish picture and bad results, I think that the psyche and motivation of the players will be, to put it mildly, shaken. On the other hand, Arda plays normally for his abilities. Takes a point or 3 from the teams at their level and in this whole situation they will not miss their chance to win.

The Home team had a very bad last season, in which they fought until the last round of the Premier League to avoid being relegated. A great loss from a technical point of view was the sale of winger Raphinha to Barcelona. On the other hand, the club brought interesting names to make a better season: Aaronson, Sinisterra, Adams and Roca arrived to give quality to the midfield and attack sector of the team. An interesting point is that Leeds has had a good campaign playing in their stadium, where they even managed to beat Chelsea. Regarding the starting lineup, there is a chance that striker Rodrigo will return in this match and this happening will be very positive for Leeds; in addition to him, we will have the return of Luke Ayling, Liam Cooper and Junior Firpo, who arrive to add to the team as well. Aston Villa had an uneventful season last season but was not at risk of relegation. Regarding this season, the great signing was defender Diego Carlos, but he is still injured and unable to play. The team has been showing a poor performance pattern when playing as a visitor, so it comes with a recent form of 3 consecutive defeats in the last matches played in that condition. Regarding the starting lineup, the visiting team has problems: in addition to not being able to count on Diego Carlos, Kamara and Digne all due to injury; in addition, there is doubt about the presence of Matty Cash. About the game, we have a kind of interesting pattern: a home team that grows in its domains, has important returns and that must have the initiative of the game, facing an opponent that has delivered a poor performance as a visitor and with problems in its lineup.
