Ryan Bidounga (Unknown Injury), Johnathan (Torn Knee Ligament) and Yevgeniy Serdyuk (Knee Surgery) will not be able to play for CSKA 1948 boss Todor Yanchev.

In all likelihood, CSKA could opt for a 4-1-4-1 system this time featuring Daniel Naumov, Steve Furtado, Simeon Petrov, Heliton, Sidcley, Reyan Daskalov, Georgi Rusev, Parvizdzhon Umarbaev, Ivailo Chochev, Pedrinho and Aleksandar Kolev.

It’s our belief that The Eagles could decide to play in a 4-2-3-1 system, choosing Sergio Padt, Aslak Fonn Witry, Igor Plastun, Olivier Verdon, Bernard Tekpetey, Show, Claude Goncalves, Kiril Despodov, Spas Delev, Caio and Thiago Rodrigues.
