A packed Stadium Vasik Levski should set the stage for a fascinating Champions League playoff battle as Levski Sofia welcome AEK Athens for the first leg. The Bulgarian side are riding a four-game winning streak in all competitions, having most recently eliminated Kairat in the third qualifying round. Levski have been particularly dominant on home soil, winning all six of their last home matches while conceding just one goal. They have also scored in every one of their previous 10 games, averaging 1.9 goals per match. Radoslav Kirilov and Stipe Vulikic are injured, while Mustapha Sangare, Akram Bouras, and Oliver Kamdem are major doubts.
AEK Athens, meanwhile, enter the tie without a competitive win in their new campaign after losing to OFI on penalties in the Greek Super Cup. The Greek champions enjoyed a superb domestic season last term, but their current away numbers provide some concern, with just one victory in their last four trips and only 0.5 goals scored per game. Overall, AEK have won 50% of their last 10 matches and conceded just 0.9 goals per outing. Luka Jovic is expected to spearhead the attack, while AEK have no injury worries ahead of the trip to Sofia.
AEK average just 0.9 goals conceded across their last 10, while Levski concede only 0.5. Therefore, we believe that there is big value in betting on Under 2.5 goals, alongside Under 3.5 and Half-Time Draw.
This Champions League match will be played on Tuesday 18 August 2026 at 20:00.
