Ludogorets – CSKA-Sofia, Bulgarian Super Cup Prediction

ℹ️ Ludogorets are tired

After these matches with Shakhtar Soligorsk, this is completely normal. However, the priority of the Eagles at the moment is to get as far forward as possible in the Champions League. In addition, next week there will be a meeting with Mura, which is more important than the match with CSKA, as hinted by the coach of the Greens. The Eagles do not play so strongly and motivated for the Super Cup, and they have not won a match against CSKA with Lubo Penev.

💹 Progress is expected at CSKA

CSKA has new additions, but they are further back in their preparation than Ludogorets. The Reds sold, after all, their best player, Tiago. In addition, they have injuries to important players – Youga, Vion, Koch (Vion has a chance to play). They do not have a healthy striker. Caicedo came after Copa America and did not train with the team. Bismark is also injured, and Ahmedov is under question until the end. CSKA are preparing for a very strong campaign, but right now they are not very impressive, which is normal in this period.

 We will hardly see the best of both teams

In view of all these factors and the huge heat in Sofia, we believe that this match will be played at a slower pace and there will not be much action. The last two matches between CSKA and Ludogorets had at least 3 goals, but overall this clash is ineffective and this is shown by the statistics – 11 of the last 14 matches between them ended with less than 3 goals, so the prediction here is Under 2.5 goals.
