CSKA Sofia and Ludogorets are both riding high in the Parva Liga with their 3rd and 1st positions respectively. Expect a great game!
- CSKA Sofia have not yet lost a game at home.
- Ludogorets have the most scored goals (59) in Parva Liga
Ludogorets could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Parva Liga game only four sleeps ago.
Sofia are done competing for places this season; they will remain in 3rd place whatever happens now. Happy, happy days for Ludogorets who are already winners of the Parva Liga. This could affect their motivation.
CSKA Sofia form and stats
CSKA Sofia have performed here at Stadion Bâlgarska Armija this season with 9 wins from 13 Parva Liga matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 4 games and lost 0. Two home wins in a row for Sofia bring valid hopes of a third.
Sofia are confident in defense, having played 270 minutes without conceding a goal in the league.
Sofia's last game was hosting Arda and winning 1-0. Before that match, a win away at Levski Sofia.
This is expected to be a close game, with CSKA Sofia perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with CSKA Sofia as a small favourite), we find six games. Sofia has won zero of these, drawn five and lost one.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Sofia as they are travelling to their away game against Lokomotiv Plovdiv in the Parva Liga. That match is three days after this one.
A decent goal production from Sofia in their home games so far, with 21 goals from 13 league matches. Defensively Sofia have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (6 in 13 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Ludogorets form and stats
The away team, who have the most scored goals (59) in Parva Liga, have been very comfortable on their travels so far, racking up 8 wins, 3 draws and only 2 losses in the Parva Liga. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Ludogorets are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.
Ludogorets might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. Lokomotiv Plovdiv proved too strong as Ludogorets slumped to a 1-2 defeat in front of their own fans at Ludogorets Arena. Before that, Ludogorets secured a home win against Beroe with the score 3-1.
So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Ludogorets playing away and similar expectations, we found four relevant matches. Results were one Ludogorets win, three draws and zero defeats.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Arda in just three days.
Ludogorets have scored more than twice on average per away game (in the league), an impressive attacking display. They have 31 goals from 13 away matches. Ludogorets have conceded 14 goals in these away matches. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 away matches.
