Ludogorets are the favorites based on season-long metrics: they sit 2nd and have scored 60 goals versus CSKA 1948’s 53, with an away goals average of 1.76 for the visitors compared to 1.56 home for the hosts. Defensively the visitors perform better — conceding 0.71 goals on average away, while CSKA concedes 1.13 at home, and average xG against is 1.05 vs 1.24. In attack Ludogorets have higher xG (1.83 vs 1.53) and more shots on target per match (5.06 vs 4.5), indicating better quality of chances, and the away goal difference is +18 for Ludogorets versus +7 for the hosts. However, in the short term CSKA looks more solid — they have won 2 of their last 5 matches, scored 7 goals and average 1.4 points per match, while Ludogorets have won 1 of their last 5, scored 3 goals and average 1.0 point per match. Considering the seasonal defensive edge and superior chance quality (xG) on the visitors’ side, I back a Ludogorets win.
