Match preview
CSKA Sofia welcome Cherno More Varna to the capital in round 7 of the First League, looking to preserve their unbeaten start to the domestic campaign. The hosts sit third in the table with 13 points from five matches (four wins and one draw), boasting a prolific home record where they have scored 10 goals and conceded three across three straight league victories.
Cherno More Varna arrive in 10th position having collected four points from six fixtures (one win, one draw, and four defeats). The visitors have found life difficult on their travels, remaining winless away from home with one draw and two losses, scoring two goals while conceding six. Although they picked up a 3-1 home win against Dunav Ruse in their most recent league outing, their defensive record across the season shows 13 goals conceded in six games without a clean sheet.
Head-to-head encounters between these two sides have traditionally been low-scoring affairs. Across their previous 10 meetings, the average total goals stand at just 1.3 per match, with only 10% exceeding 2.5 goals and 30% featuring both teams scoring. While CSKA Sofia hold the superior form and table standing, historical encounters suggest a closely contested tactical battle.
