CSKA Sofia :
Before the last group match day, the matter in this group of the Europa League is already clear. With only two points, CSKA Sofia was definitely eliminated, the Bulgarians are still waiting for their first victory. It can be doubted that this will be run against the Italians by AS Roma. Things are going well in the domestic league, with four games being won in a row and only one of 14 games this season lost.
The record in the Europa League is much worse, which is mainly due to the high quality difference. Before the game CSKA Sofia vs. AS Roma, the betting odds show that the host is the clear underdog.
The dilemma in the Europa League can also be proven statistically. Especially offensively, it’s just not enough for the Bulgarians. CSKA Sofia has not yet been able to score a single goal, both points were scored 0-0. But one of them was a respectable success in the first leg against AS Roma in the Stadio Olimpico.
So the statistics give little hope. The best-known name of the Bulgarians is certainly the coach, Bruno Akrapovic. During his active time he played for VfL Wolfsburg, Mainz 05 and Energie Cottbus, among others. There are no stars in the squad, CSKA Sofia comes from team unity.
Before the last matchday, third place is not even possible, the gap to Cluj is three points and the direct comparison was lost. With zero goals, CSKA Sofia is unsurprisingly the worst offensive in the competition, but defensively it looks decent. Six goals conceded in five group games is a figure that is satisfactory.
Due to the offensive weakness before the game CSKA Sofia vs. AS Roma our forecast that the guests can celebrate an away win. Further interesting tips about the Europa League can be found on a betting basis.
There are no personnel worries, purely theoretically, coach Akrapovic can fall back on all the players in the squad. Since everything has already been decided, CSKA Sofia could also try something out and rotate.
AS Roma :
With 13 points from five games, AS Roma are already qualified as group winners for the knockout round. So the duty in this group has been fulfilled. In Serie A they are sixth after the 0-0 draw against Sassuolo at the weekend, but they still have a connection to the top. So the season so far has been quite positive overall.
Two competitive defeats in 15 games speak for themselves. Paulo Fonseca’s system works, the team is in a good shape and has been able to internalize the automatisms. Before the game CSKA Sofia vs. AS Roma show the odds therefore also a clear favorite role for the Giallorossi.
This rate is also so “high” because rotation is to be expected and the Italians’ second guard may not be perfectly coordinated. But the ambitions are still there. On the one hand, the young players want to show themselves, on the other hand, a victory also generates corresponding income.
Statistically, the Roma are not yet one of the most defining teams in the Europa League. Twelve own goals represent the seventh best value, with two goals conceded you are at least the third best defensive after Dinamo Zagreb and TSG Hoffenheim. The opponents are dominated, you play offensive relatively efficiently.
So the omens are clear, which is why before the game CSKA Sofia vs. AS Roma our tip is that the guests will win away from home. Whether this will happen can be tracked with the live score function on a betting basis. This season the guests have big goals in Europe and want to improve the results of the previous season. There they were eliminated in the round of 16.
Fonseca has to do without Smalling, Santo, Veretout, Zaniolo and Pastore, and some players are spared in order to save energy for the upcoming games in Serie A.
