CSKA 1948 Sofia vs Levski Sofia prediction
We predict Levski Sofia to take at least a point from this match, with a slight edge for an away win. They arrive with a stronger win rate (60% last five) and have outscored CSKA 1948 Sofia not just recently, but also throughout the season. Levski’s tactical discipline, evident in fewer yellow cards (3 vs 7), signals better composure and control, which matters in tight matches.
Both sides utilize the 4-2-3-1 formation, promising midfield battles and organized defensive lines. CSKA 1948 Sofia has shown defensive grit, but their attack is blunt lately—just 2 goals in five matches, and only 4 scored in the championship phase. Levski’s more dynamic attack and better set-piece conversion make the difference.
Discipline will play a key role. CSKA 1948 Sofia’s higher yellow card count and two reds in five games could leave them exposed, especially late. Neither team racks up high foul totals, suggesting a tactical rather than bruising contest. With Levski’s sharper attack, we see them exploiting any lapses and grabbing a narrow win or at least a draw.
| 🔥Hot Tip: | Levski Sofia to win or draw (Double Chance X2) |
| ⚽Total Goals: | Under 2.5 |
| 💥Both Teams To Score: | No |
| 🎯Total Corners: | Under 9.5 |
Team Analysis
CSKA 1948 Sofia comes off a gritty 1-0 win against Ludogorets, finally finding the net after a run of low-scoring matches. Their defense held firm, but offensive creativity was lacking for long stretches. Before that, a 1-1 draw with CSKA Sofia and a narrow 0-1 loss to the same rival reflected a team struggling to convert chances. The highlight remains their defensive shape, but without more up front, they risk falling behind in tight games.
Levski Sofia, on the other hand, delivered a convincing 2-0 win over CSKA Sofia in their last outing. Their attack showed sharp interplay, breaking through a tough defense. Recent matches include a 1-1 draw and a 0-1 defeat to Ludogorets, but across five games, Levski’s offensive production stands out. Their midfielders win possession and create quickly, with more shots on target and effective passing sequences. This side looks confident, with a 60% win rate this month.

Pre-game odds and win probability: CSKA 1948 Sofia the favourite
- Moneyline CSKA 1948 Sofia 2.67 | Levski Sofia 3.32
- Draw 3.00
- Over/Under Over 2.5 2.60 | Under 2.5 1.48
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes 2.25 | No 1.65
The bookmakers rate CSKA 1948 Sofia as marginal favourites, reflecting home advantage, but Levski’s longer odds are tempting given their recent results. The low price on under 2.5 goals shows little faith in a high-scoring match, and BTTS No is favoured—matching the recent lack of goals from CSKA 1948 Sofia. Our team sees the odds as slightly undervaluing Levski Sofia’s form and attacking edge, making value on away or draw markets.
Possible Starting Lineups
The 4-2-3-1 formation gives CSKA 1948 Sofia balance and protection in midfield, but much depends on their creative playmaker’s ability to link with the lone striker. Defensively, the fullbacks are solid but less adventurous. The goalkeeper must command his box—he’s a key figure, especially given recent attacking struggles.
Levski Sofia are likely to mirror the 4-2-3-1, but with more direct play from their wide men. Their attacking midfielder and forwards have combined well lately, making them the side with more goal threat. The keeper is reliable and commands his area with authority. Watch for their winger to press high and force errors.

TipsGG Match Prediction
We predict a tight encounter, but Levski Sofia’s superior form and attacking output tip the scales. CSKA 1948 Sofia’s defense holds firm, but their scoring drought is a real concern. Levski’s ability to convert chances and maintain composure under pressure gives them the edge. Our pick is Levski Sofia double chance, with a strong lean to a narrow away win and under 2.5 goals.
