In 2016, the hosts broke away from the main Sofia CSKA and in record time overcame all the Bulgarian leagues and reached the top division. Since 2020, the team has been performing at the highest level and has already won bronze medals once, and also reached the cup final, where it lost to today opponent. Following the results of last season, the Sofia team managed to win a place in the qualifying stages of the Conference League. There, the hosts beat Budućnost from Podgorica (1:0 and 1:1), but they failed to get through to the next round. The army team was blocked by Cypriot Pafos, who turned out to be stronger in extra time. In the domestic championship, the Lions continue to hold on to the middle of the table.

Ludogorets Razgrad
BulgariaCurrent form
Ludogorets once again became the champion of Bulgaria last season, but the club from Razgrad failed to conquer the country cup - in the final confrontation, the favorite lost to Plovdiv Botev with a score of 2:3. It seems that there is no more intrigue in the championship - the visitors have already broken away from their competitors by 10 points, although only 18 rounds have passed. So far, the champion has not looked very successful in the Europa League - not a single win in six matches and only 32nd place in the table. In the last rounds of this competition, they managed to take one point each from Lazio (0:0) and AZ Alkmaar (2:2). At the previous stage of the cup, the "eagles" did not notice the resistance of modest Chernolomets (6:0).

1.77Tip and bets
The visitors have almost no competitors in the domestic arena, so the favorite in this match is obvious. The hosts have been far from optimal form in recent matches and have only beaten the modest Septemvri. After playing in the European Cups, the visitors will probably dilute the lineup with reserve players, but Ludogorets' bench is quite long, so even without several key players, the Eagles should take the victory in the cup match.
Our forecast is victory for Ludogorets in 1.65
Bet on total
The visitors are actively playing in attack and have never scored less than two goals in the last four matches. Surely this time the club will impose its style of play on the opponent and CSKA 1948 will only have to respond with its attacks. We believe that the opponents will have a productive match.
Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals for 1.95
Bet on corners
The visitors will probably take the initiative from the very first minutes of this match and will put pressure on the opponent until the final whistle. We think that this will allow the favorite to achieve a noticeable advantage in the number of corners taken.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-2.5) on corners at Ludogorets for 1.99
