ℹ️ Team News: CSKA 1948
Owing to an otherwise full-strength group, there is just the lone fitness worry for the CSKA 1948 manager Aleksandar Aleksandrov to be concerned about. Simeon Vasilev (Torn ankle ligaments) won’t be playing here.
🧠 Prediction
Our thinking is that CSKA 1948 may well find it hard to see themselves scoring against this Slavia Sofia outfit who we think will get a goal themselves and run out victorious.
Therefore, we predict a highly competitive game with a 1-0 victory for Slavia Sofia when the referee blows for full-time.
A close call.
