In this Europa Conference League match both teams have something to lose, each in their own way. Nordsjælland have not won any of their last five and have just finished their league game with a 3-3 draw, while CSKA Sofia are doing well in the league and are unbeaten all season there, but in their most recent cup match they lost 1-2. This game is therefore a measure of which team can bring their league form into the cup. Nordsjælland are in a period where their attack still creates chances, but their defence concedes more easily than it should, especially early in the second half when they have conceded several goals. CSKA Sofia, meanwhile, have had more possession and more shots on target in their last ten matches, but their defence has shown lapses in the cup. If Nordsjælland can dominate possession and push high from the start, the game is likely to flow one way, but the first half may still be tense because CSKA Sofia defend in an organised way. In the second half, as the game opens up, Nordsjælland have the chance to make the difference through the quality of their front line and their home advantage.
