General match analysis

Beroe sit 14th with only 4 wins and 18 goals this season; at home they average 0.62 goals per match, concede 1.31 and have 46% of games without a goal, which limits their offensive threat. CSKA Sofia are 4th with 14 wins and 38 goals; away they average 14.23 shots and 4.08 shots on target per game, as well as 1.0 goal per game and 1.8 points in the last 5 matches. The quality gap is confirmed by xG: Beroe’s home xG is 1.23, while CSKA generate xG 1.8 on the road; the hosts concede xG against of 1.82 versus 1.27 for the visitors, indicating better defensive organization from CSKA. Additionally, Beroe have scored only 1 goal in the last 5 matches and average 0.8 points per game in that period, while CSKA have 5 goals and 1.8 points per game, demonstrating the visitors’ form and efficiency. Given the advantage in chances created (14.23 vs 9.54 shots), higher xG (1.8 vs 1.23) and superior defensive stats, I predict a CSKA win.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

I back 'No' — meaning both teams will not score. Beroe at home records a 43% clean sheet rate and concedes only 0.57 goals per game with xG against 0.92, indicating a solid home defense. CSKA Sofia average 1.0 goals on the road and have a season BTTS rate of just 31%; despite an attacking xG of 1.8, their finishing limits matches where both teams score. Additionally, in the last 5 matches both teams show 0% BTTS (0.0% and 0.0%), confirming a current trend toward one-sided games, while the league average BTTS is 44%. Although Beroe has a higher attacking xG of 2.25 versus CSKA’s 1.8 and averages 1.79 goals per game, their chance creation does not offset the high home clean sheet rate and the visitors’ low BTTS rate. Therefore I assign 70% to 'No' and 30% to 'Yes'.

Over/Under - goals analysis

A model combining xG and opposing statistics forecasts 1.76 goals for Beroe (average of 2.25 home attacking xG and 1.27 xG conceded against CSKA) and 1.36 for CSKA (average of 1.80 away xG and 0.92 xG conceded to the hosts), totaling 3.12 goals. This season Beroe scores 1.79 goals at home on average and registers 18.57 shots (6.07 on target), while CSKA has 38 goals scored this season; the hosts have conceded 39 goals, which favors a higher-scoring game. Both teams have a high share of matches with over 1.5 goals: Beroe 64% at home and CSKA 69% away, so the strongest signal is for Over 1.5. The expected 3.12 goals also makes Over 2.5 goals a sensible secondary option, whereas Over 3.5 goals is unlikely (seasonal Over 3.5: 29% for Beroe and 15% for CSKA).

View Over/Under statistics
HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

Beroe led at the break in 7 matches (50% of their games) compared to 4 (31%) for CSKA, and the hosts score an average of 1.79 goals and concede 0.57 per home match. Additionally, the hosts’ xG is 2.25 versus CSKA’s 1.80, and the hosts register more on-target shots (6.07 vs 4.08), indicating a clear advantage in chance creation. In the first half Beroe average 0.71 goals and concede 0.29, while in the second half they average 1.07 goals versus CSKA’s 0.46, which increases the likelihood of maintaining or extending a lead. The difference in second-half effectiveness (ppg 2.21 for Beroe vs 1.15 for CSKA) and the season-long 71% home win rate versus 31% for away teams support the HT/FT scenario of Beroe leading at the break and the hosts winning at full-time.
