Buducnost has been dropping out early in European tournaments in recent years. Now they have at least eliminated Kosovo's Malisheva after a 0:1 away win and a 3:0 home win in the second leg. This is exactly what they hope for now, after losing 0:1 in Sofia in the first leg. This was also the first victory for CSKA 1948 in Europe, after debuting in European tournaments last year.
In the days leading up to the match, however, it is still unclear where the match will be held. Initially, it was supposed to be at Buducnost's home stadium. 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 team Mornar Bar will play on the same pitch, and according to the rules, at least 48 hours must pass before another match can be played on the same stadium. So for now, Buducnost are denying CSKA 1948 access to the pitch, where "the Reds" are supposed to have their official training today (Wednesday), under the pretext that another match is scheduled there on the same day. At the time of publishing the forecast, the situation remains unclear, but this will definitely further heat up the atmosphere for the match.
Prediction: under 2.5 goalsOnce again, an attractive match is not shaping up, with the tension further rising before it. For the second leg, I will choose under 2.5 goals in the match.
