Two teams unbeaten in the league this season meet each other, with CSKA Sofia sitting 2nd and Ludogorets right behind in 3rd, just a point apart. Looking back at their meetings last season, almost every match ended with a scoreline separated by no more than a single goal or with no goals at all — 1-0, 0-0 and 1-2 alternating, except for one match where Ludogorets won comfortably 3-0. This time both are still unbeaten in the league, and both have just come through entertaining matches, 2-2 and 3-0. CSKA Sofia have played 11 league matches without defeat, winning 8, drawing 3, scoring 27 and conceding 9 — numbers that say their attack and defence are working well together. Ludogorets are also unbeaten in the league from 10 matches, winning 8, drawing 2, scoring 21 and conceding 7, and they are on a winning run of 5 matches in all competitions. The pattern of these two teams is interesting because both like to hold the ball. CSKA Sofia average 57.7% possession in their last 10 matches across all competitions, while Ludogorets average 60.2% possession over the same period. This game is likely to be a midfield exchange of punches rather than either side sitting deep, because both have defensive records that concede few goals and neither has lost in the league this season. If CSKA Sofia score first, Ludogorets will have to open up and trade blows, which could make the game more open and lead to more goals. But if Ludogorets take the lead first, CSKA Sofia have enough quality to come back and equalise, because they are still unbeaten in the league and have just drawn their latest match.
