CSKA Sofia vs Monaco Prediction (15.10.2026)

Marcos Gisdol managed to start with a win at the helm, dramatically beating CSKA on Sunday. His team quickly took a 2-0 lead but allowed an equalizer and could have even lost in the end, but managed to win with a goal in the last minute. A home match in Europe is coming up, as CSKA-Sofia lost their last two such matches against OFI and Maccabi Tel Aviv. In 2021, the team last participated in the group stage, finishing last in their group of the Conference League. Overall, they have been facing serious difficulties in the group phases in Europe lately, losing 21 of their last 28 such matches.

Monaco did not have the luck of CSKA-Sofia over the weekend, as they also took a 2-0 lead against Toulouse at home and allowed an equalizer, finishing the match with a score of 2-2. Nevertheless, they maintained their first place in the temporary standings of Ligue 1 and continue unbeaten in a total of eight matches across all competitions this season. To reach the group stage, they eliminated Polish team Górnik Zabrze with two victories. However, they have only one away win from their last eight in European competitions. Still, this season they have three wins and one draw in four away matches across all tournaments, including a victory against PSG.

Marcos Gisdol is the hope for CSKA-Sofia to start improving even more. Monaco, on the other hand, is starting the new season quite well. Ultimately, it is clear that anything other than a win for the "Monegasques" here would be surprising.
