Derry City will be playing on Thursday as they ready themselves for this forthcoming Europa League Qualifiers game with CSKA Sofia.
Our tips, poll and stats for CSKA Sofia v Derry City can all be found here - as well as the best betting odds.
CSKA Sofia will be hoping to return to winning ways here following a 1-0 First League loss in their previous game against Ludogorets Razgrad.
Ivaylo Chochev (94') was the scorer for Ludogorets Razgrad.
CSKA Sofia haven’t made the most of their chances of late. Their goals record equals just 4 against opposing sides during the course of their last six matches. In those meetings, CSKA Sofia have also seen the number of goals against them total 7. That pattern might not be continued here, of course.
Since suffering a loss in their previous game against Waterford in Premier Division action, Derry City will be hoping to turn things around here.
For Derry City, the scorers were Rob Slevin (82') and Adam O'Reilly (85'). Tom Lonergan (14', 69'), Pádraig Amond (77') and Jørgen Voilås (90') scored for Waterford.
Illustrating their penchant for high-scoring encounters, we’ve had goals 21 times in the previous six matches in which Derry City have played, giving an average of 3.5 goals per clash. Opposing teams have got 10 of those goals.
We’re inclined to think that CSKA Sofia will probably score more than once when they play Derry City, who may well find it hard scoring.
We’re tipping a decent 2-0 victory for CSKA Sofia after 90 minutes.
