CSKA starts its campaign in the Europa League with great hopes, after winning the Bulgarian Cup and making a seemingly good summer selection. In the first round of the qualifiers, it's time for a home match against Derry City.
The Irish with difficulties
Derry is far from the top spots in the local league, as they once again faced serious problems over the weekend after a 1:3 home loss to bottom-placed Waterford. The team enters this match as the underdog, but this should not reassure the Bulgarian hosts. Derry will sit back and play to disrupt the game, looking for chances on the counterattack and from set pieces. There are many questions surrounding CSKA in matches where the team must overcome dense defenses, and it will be interesting to see if there is any progress in the game of Hristo Yanev's boys after last season.
Bet on under 2.5 goals
Personally, it seems to me that we will see a rather low-scoring match, in which CSKA will possibly find the way to a minimal success.
