Levski Sofia
- Levski Sofia have won 14, drawn one and lost two of their 17 home games in Parva Liga in 2026.
- PFC Levski Sofia, with 76 points from 33 matches, are top of the Parva Liga - Championship Group 2026 table and already crowned as league champions.
- His side are much more comfortable with the ball, playing a structured style of pressing and build up play, but they’ve also been unpredictable in the final third, thanks to the way in which their wide players can rotate with the forwards.
CSKA Sofia
- CSKA Sofia have won seven, drawn four and lost five of their 16 away games in the Championship Group.
- City rivals CSKA Sofia sit third, some 14 points behind with 62 points, but pride, tactical bragging rights and European places are still up for grabs in this Sofia derby.
- CSKA Sofia are also led by a tactically astute coach in Hristo Yanev, who took charge in September 2025 and has transformed the Red Lions into a direct, transition-based side.
- The problem for the visitors is that their 18 goals scored in 16 away games this term shows they’re much less bold on the road.
Head-to-Head
- Levski Sofia won the reverse fixture in Parva Liga 2025/2026 1-3 two weeks ago.
- The last three meetings between these sides have seen each win once and one draw.
- The average goals per game in the last five head-to-head meetings between these two at Levski’s home ground is just 0.5 per team and we could well see another cagey encounter on Saturday.

Mohamed Brahimi has been in red-hot form in front of goal lately and has scored both of CSKA’s goals in their last five.
