CSKA Sofia
LWWWWW 🔥

For CSKA Sofia, the goals were scored by Stanislav Shopov (18') and Zymer Bytyqi (84'). Alberto Salido (10') was the scorer for Beroe Stara Zagora.
A succession of steadfast performances from the CSKA Sofia defensive players has resulted in their ‘goals against’ tally standing at 2 from their last 6 outings combined. During the same period of time, their own forwards have managed to score 14. However, we will just have to wait and see whether that pattern might continue on in this next game.
Pre-game facts show that CSKA Sofia:
- haven't been defeated by Botev in games played away from home for the previous 3 league matches.
- are undefeated in their previous 2 league matches away from home.

📰 Team News: Botev
It doesn’t get much better regarding selection, with just the lone fitness concern for the Botev gaffer Dušan Kerkez to be concerned about from of an almost fully healthy set of players. Anthony Ujah (Patellar tendon rupture) will miss out.
⚡ Prediction
We’re thinking that CSKA Sofia will have their work cut out to be putting a goal past this Botev side who we reckon should gain the upper hand.
We’re therefore seeing a good battle with a 1-0 win for Botev when the referee blows for full-time.
A close call.
