Bulgarian side CSKA Sofia has one foot in the final round of the Europa League qualifiers even as they welcome Maccabi Tel Aviv. The hosts carry into the match a 3-0 lead and only need a draw here to advance to the playoffs. Maccabi have failed to score in four of five away matches in Europe, and this prediction backs an extension of the same.
CSKA will be looking to finish off this tie after their massive first leg win. It has so far been positive for the Bulgarians this season on both domestic and European fronts.
They are coming from another 3-0 win against Septemvri Sofia, setting them on a nine-game unbeaten run, with six wins. In Europe, they haven’t tasted defeat in five, winning three.
Maccabi Tel Aviv had a feeble effort in the first-leg encounter in Batumi. The Israelis haven’t had the privilege of hosting their matches in Tel Aviv. Their latest defeat just adds to their recent struggles in Europe.
Last season they got to the league phase in this competition, but it all ended in a whimper as they finished bottom, winless. In that stage, also, Maccabi managed just two goals while conceding 22.
Closer to this game, they have managed just two wins in 10 Europa League outings.
