CSKA Sofia will look to finish the job when they host Maccabi Tel Aviv in the second leg of their Europa League qualifying tie. The Bulgarian side take a commanding 3-0 advantage into the return fixture and are expected to name an unchanged starting XI. CSKA have been in impressive form, winning five of their last 10 matches, while their home record is even stronger, with a 75% win rate. They average 2.00 goals per home game and have an xG of 2.16, suggesting they can cause further problems.
Maccabi Tel Aviv face an uphill task after a disappointing first-leg showing. Despite that setback, the Israeli side have won five of their last 10 matches and have been particularly dangerous away from home, scoring 2.50 goals per game. However, they have conceded 1.50 per away match and kept just one clean sheet in their last six away fixtures. Asante and Ben Harush are pushing for recalls after appearing from the bench in Sofia.
Given the huge gap in quality between the two sides, our main prediction firmly points toward Home Win, alongside Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals (the first leg produced three goals, while Maccabi average 4.00 total goals away).
This Europa League match will be played on Thursday 13 August 2026 at 19:00.
