Nothing but glory last season for Sofia, as they won the Bulgarian Cup.CSKA Sofia are yet to lose a point on their Parva Liga travels this season with 3 wins from 3 away games. Sofia have won three away matches in a row now and will not be intimidated by being the visitors in this fixture.
It's the second away game in a row for CSKA Sofia, but there's smiles all around after the 4-2 victory versus Botev Vratsa in the Parva Liga last time out. As you can tell from the result, the match against Botev Vratsa was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?
