Buducnost has been dropping out early in European tournaments in recent years. Now at least they eliminated Kosovar Malisheva after a 0:1 away win and a 3:0 home win in the second leg. This is exactly what they are hoping for now, after losing 0:1 in Sofia in the first match. This was also the first victory for CSKA 1948 in Europe, after making their debut in European tournaments last year.
In the days leading up to the match, however, it is still unclear which stadium it will be held at. Initially, it was supposed to be at Buducnost's home ground. However, UEFA stated that the pitch does not meet the requirements and moved the game to the small 4,000-seat "DG Arena" stadium. The decision is quite strange, as 24 hours earlier the local side Mornar Bar will be playing on the same pitch, and according to the rules, at least 48 hours should have passed for another match to be played on the same stadium. So far, Buducnost have denied CSKA 1948 access to the field, where the "reds" are supposed to have their official training today (Wednesday), under the pretext that another match is scheduled on the same day. At the time of publishing the forecast, the situation remains unclear, but this will definitely add more tension to the atmosphere for the match.
Forecast: under 2.5 goalsOnce again, it does not seem like we will see an attractive match, especially with the tension rising before it. For the second leg, I will choose under 2.5 goals in the match.
