Montana hope to sell some tickets for this game even though the season has been rough so far with 12 points and a 11th position in the Parva Liga table. Visiting CSKA Sofia holds 5th place with 18 pts.

There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a Europa League game only three days ago. That game, against Young Boys, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for CSKA Sofia.
