A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The CSKA Sofia fans are optimistic that the difference between 3rd and Montana's 14th place in the table will show on the pitch.
- CSKA Sofia have the fewest matches over the total-line (8) in Parva Liga
- Montana is in the worst form (0-2-4)
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Parva Liga. That game was an away game at Tsarsko selo, so at least Sofia are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Sofia can neither be promoted or relegated from Parva Liga. Montana are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.
