View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

The signal for goals from both sides is supported by high seasonal BTTS figures: Levski stands at 75%, while CSKA 1948 is at 67%, clearly above the league average of 55%. The hosts score an average of 2.50 goals at home and have not recorded a match without scoring, while the visitors create more chances, registering an xG of 1.53 and 5.67 shots on target per match. In their last five matches, both teams scored 2.0 goals per game and conceded 1.0, indicating current attacking potential on both sides. The risk to the pick is Levski’s strong seasonal defense, conceding just 0.75 goals per match, as well as the hosts’ BTTS rate of only 20% in their last five appearances, but CSKA 1948’s superior attacking quality slightly favors a goal for the visitors. Therefore, the lean is toward BTTS - Yes (Goal/Goal), although BTTS - No means that at least one team fails to score—it does not automatically mean a 0:0 result or that neither team will score.
