Greek champions AEK Athens will host their Bulgarian counterparts, Levski Sofia, in their UEFA Champions League playoff return leg. This tie is currently balanced at 0-0 from the first leg, and our prediction will still back at least one side failing to score.
AEK have some competitive minutes in the tank and can afford much confidence going into this encounter. They were sluggish in the first leg, a clear sign of lacking match fitness, but will be glad they didn’t suffer an away defeat.
Heading into this meeting, AEK thumped Iraklis 4-0 in their league opener. The Greeks are now unbeaten in nine matches inside 90 minutes and see the chance to make it to the UCL main draw for the first time since 2018/19.
While AEK joined the qualifiers in the final round, Levski Sofia started from the first. It will be crushing to end up not qualifying, but at least there is a Europa League consolation if it comes to that.
Even though they failed to win at home, Levski haven’t been lightweights in these qualifiers. They are unbeaten from the first round, and playing their eighth such match, they will be confident of claiming an away win.
In their league match this weekend, Levski warmed up for this with a 6-0 win against Spartak Varna. They are aiming for a first main draw showing in the competition since 2010/11, buoyed by a 15-game unbeaten run.

Our AEK Athens vs Levski Sofia Prediction
Levski Sofia last lost a competitive match in May. They haven’t tasted defeat across their last 15 outings, but we have a feeling that could change this week. The Bulgarians have had a superb run lately, but away matches haven’t brought about many wins.
Facing the Greek champions is a step up in the quality of opposition, and Levski might finally be felled. AEK Athens have only lost once in 10 matches in Europe and won eight. They will surely be better than a side with four wins in 10 away matches. Our prediction for AEK Athens v Levski Sofia is AEK Athens win to nil.
