Frequently Asked Questions
Who will win CSKA Sofia or Maccabi Tel Aviv?
CSKA Sofia hold a slight edge, backed by a 57% win projection and a 3-0 win over Maccabi Tel Aviv in the sides' only previous meeting, but the tie looks too close for strong confidence.
Are CSKA Sofia favourites after five straight wins?
CSKA Sofia come in with five consecutive home wins, but their overall profile is nearly identical to Maccabi Tel Aviv's, so favouritism is marginal rather than commanding in this qualifier.
Will both teams score in this Europa League tie?
CSKA Sofia kept a clean sheet in the only prior meeting, winning 3-0, and their defensive solidity suggests both teams scoring is far from assured in this tie.
