General match analysis

The hosts create significantly more danger: their average home xG stands at 2.42 compared with Cherno More’s 1.12 away from home, and they average 9.33 shots on target versus 3.67 for their opponents. The Sofia side also dominate possession (63% to 49%) and have a significantly higher shot conversion rate, 23% compared with 10%. Cherno More concede an average of 2 goals away from home, have kept no clean sheets on the road and have lost 4 of their last 5 matches overall. CSKA Sofia have conceded 6 goals in their last 5 games, but their attacking superiority and outstanding home record strongly point to a home win.

View the statistical overview
BTTS - will both teams score?

The signal for both teams to score is slightly positive, as both CSKA Sofia and Cherno More have recorded BTTS in 67% of their matches this season, while neither team has kept a clean sheet so far. CSKA Sofia create significantly more chances, averaging 1.53 xG and 6.33 shots on target per match, compared with Cherno More’s 1.12 xG and 3.67 shots on target. The hosts are also in good offensive form, scoring 2.4 goals per game across their last five matches, while the visitors conceded as many as 2.4 goals per game over the same period. The risk to the pick is Cherno More’s weaker consistency, with the team scoring only 0.67 goals per match this season. However, their recent average of 1.2 goals and an xG of 1.40 indicate that an away goal remains a realistic outcome. Therefore, the scenario in which both sides score at least once is more likely, although the edge over BTTS - No is not substantial.

Over/Under - goals analysis

CSKA Sofia have averaged 2.4 goals scored over their last five matches, while Cherno More have conceded as many as 2.4 goals per game during this period. The hosts are also creating more chances: their average xG stands at 1.85 compared with 1.40 for the visitors, while their average number of shots on target is 6.33 versus 3.67. Over 2.5 goals has landed in all five of CSKA Sofia’s last matches and in 80% of Cherno More’s games, significantly strengthening the baseline high-scoring scenario. Neither team has kept a clean sheet in the season data, and a goal has been scored in 100% of their matches. The strongest signal remains Over 1.5 goals, as it combines a very high likelihood of at least two goals with the hosts’ attacking form and the visitors’ recent defensive weakness.

HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

CSKA Sofia have won 3 of their last 5 matches, while Cherno More have lost 4 of their last 5, with the average points over this period standing at 1.8 versus 0.6.

After the break, the hosts have averaged 1.4 goals across their last five appearances, whereas Cherno More have conceded as many as 1.8, increasing the likelihood of CSKA maintaining or extending their lead.
