CSKA 1948 Sofia vs PanathinaikosPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

The Conference League qualifier brings one of the better-equipped sides in the round to Sofia. CSKA 1948 score 1.5 a game at home and concede 0.9, taking 1.8 points with a clean sheet in 43% of their home matches. Panathinaikos produce 1.5 a trip on the road and concede 1.3, at 1.6 points a game. A CSKA side who take on anyone at home Their last six at home describe a team solid in Europe: 4-1 against Drita, 3-0 against Partizan, 3-3 with Maribor and 0-0 with Spartak Trnava, alongside wins over Arda and Botev Vratsa. No home defeats, against continental-level opposition. An inconsistent Panathinaikos The Athenians alternate very different performances away from home: a 3-1 at Ajax and a 4-0 at Helmond Sport on one side, a 1-4 with Rapid Vienna and defeats to Olympiakos and AEK on the other. On the road they are blanked in 30% of their trips. The verdict: the call is that CSKA 1948 score. At home they find the net in two games out of three and Panathinaikos shut the door in under a third of their away games. The hosts' 34% of home matches without a goal is what keeps the confidence down. I read it around 78%. My take: CSKA are awkward for anyone at home, they should manage at least one goal.
