CSKA Sofia
WDWLWW
CSKA Sofia will be hoping for a repeat of their last result, following the 0-3 First League victory over Beroe Stara Zagora.
For CSKA Sofia, the scorers were Ilian Iliev (14'), Ivan Tasev (76') and Sainey Sanyang (82').
Their latest results reveal that there has been much resilience in the CSKA Sofia rearguard. CSKA Sofia have been mean at the back, resulting in the tally of goals that have flown into the back of their net over the course of their past six matches standing at 2. That sort of trend won’t necessarily be sustained here, of course.
Heading into this fixture, CSKA Sofia are unbeaten in their previous 10 league matches at home. They have been so resilient here.
Botev
DDWDDW 📈

👥 Head to head

A combined sum of 16 goals were yielded between them during those clashes, with 13 of them from The Army Men and 3 for The Canaries. The average number of goals per game works out to 2.67.
The previous league contest featuring the two was First League match day 22 on 22/02/2025 when it finished Botev 0-3 CSKA Sofia.

📋 Team News: Botev
Botev boss Dušan Kerkez has to choose a team with limited availability. Anthony Ujah (Patellar tendon rupture) and Georgi Nikolov (Shoulder injury) are those who can’t be considered.
🔮 Prediction
It seems to us that Botev will have a difficult task to find the back of the net against a CSKA Sofia lineup who will likely score a lot of goals.
We’re expecting a comprehensive 3-0 winning margin for CSKA Sofia at the end of the 90 minutes.
