In their previous game, the manager L. Petrović led his CSKA Sofia to a defeat in the Parva Liga match away at Beroe. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadion Bâlgarska Armija. Before that match, a Bulgarian Cup win away at Lokomotiv G. Oryahovitsa.

CSKA Sofia are huge favourites in this match and it would be a big surprise if they fail to leave Stadion Bâlgarska Armija with maximum points. The home side has been in this situation before, with huge expectations of a win. 18 earlier games are comparable to this one, and CSKA Sofia has won 15 times, drawn 0 and lost 3. Sports bettors who like handicap betting will like to know that CSKA Sofia has won by at least two goals 10 times when in this position.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (12 in 6 games), CSKA Sofia's attacking play is working. CSKA Sofia have conceded 9 from these games.
