Frequently Asked Questions
Who will win between CSKA Sofia and OFI Crete?
CheckLive's read backs CSKA Sofia to win despite OFI Crete's 3-0 win in the only prior meeting; the Bulgarian side hold the edge in mentality and recent form. The Greeks' three-match winning run is the main threat to that prediction.
Are CSKA Sofia favourites despite their 3-0 loss to OFI Crete?
Yes, CSKA Sofia are favourites per CheckLive's read, which rates their mentality far above OFI Crete's and their recent form slightly better. Still, the 3-0 precedent keeps the Greeks live.
Will both teams score in this Europa League playoff?
Both teams to score is a reasonable lean: CSKA Sofia need to attack after conceding three, and OFI Crete's good form includes scoring freely. The only prior meeting, though, finished 3-0 to just one side.
