Zorya and CSKA Sofia get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this Europa Conference League Group Stage fixture.
It's no vacation for neither Zorya nor CSKA Sofia as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.
These teams have little in common geographically as CSKA Sofia have to travel 1400 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
Zorya form and stats

This match is a Europa Conference League match, and the hometeam has the total statistics 1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses in this competition. After failing to beat Minai here at Slavutych-Arena, Zorya has put together a very nice winning streak on their own turf with four wins in a row.
Happy days for Zorya in their previous game, a Premier League match away at Metalist 1925 Kharkiv that ended with a 6-1 victory. As indicated by the result mentioned above, Zorya played a great game against Metalist 1925 Kharkiv and beat them comfortably. Expectations are high for this one.
A strong away win before that one, visiting Rukh Vynnyky (after extra-time) and winning 2-0.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Zorya have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found six games) they have won three times, drawn two and lost one.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Veres are coming to town in three days.
