CSKA Sofia
- CSKA Sofia have three wins and two defeats in their last five in all competitions.
- Hristo Yanev's men can play either with three or four at the back depending on the game and have been much better in recent weeks, but OFI FC's mood has changed since a 2-1 defeat to Willem II Tilburg in Friendly Club Matches 2026 was followed by a 3-0 win over CSKA.
OFI FC
OFI FC have two wins and three defeats in their last five in all competitions.
Head-to-Head
- Christos Kontis, who took over on 30 October 2025, has set up OFI to play with wing-backs and a three centre-back system.
- That makes them likely to create overloads in the wide areas.
- CSKA, on the other hand, are a side that usually press high up the field, like to play a vertical passing game through a compact central spine and look to force the opponent into errors before hitting them on the counter.
