Levski and CSKA enter the first Sofia derby of the efbet League season in radically different moods. The clash at the national stadium “Vasil Levski” promises intensity, but goals may come at a premium.
Pick: BTTS – No
Levski’s defensive strength and CSKA’s pragmatic approach suggest a cagey affair. The most likely scenario is one or neither team finding the net in a tight, physical match.
Levski Sofia: Confident and in Control
Levski have been the dominant force in Bulgarian football so far this season. Julio Velasquez’s side opened up an 11-point lead over Ludogorets (or 8 if games in hand are accounted for), largely due to their exceptional defensive record and control of matches. The “Blues” rely on structured buildup and compact pressing, often grinding out low-scoring wins. In derby settings, that discipline usually becomes even more pronounced.
CSKA Sofia: Gradual Recovery but Still Inconsistent
The “Reds” finally showed signs of improvement after a difficult start to the season, stringing together their first real winning run in months. Despite that, questions remain about their attacking efficiency, especially against elite opposition. They tend to focus on staying organized rather than exposing themselves early, which makes sense against the most in-form team in the league.
