CSKA Sofia- Isaac Solet
MonacoNo absentees
CSKA Sofia host a Monaco side packed with Ligue 1 pedigree on the Conference League‘s opening night, and the gulf in class shapes our CSKA Sofia vs Monaco predictions at a raucous Stadion Vasil Levski, kick-off 5.45pm on Thursday.
Our CSKA Sofia vs Monaco predictions and betting tips are below, with Anthony Eadson’s best bets and score prediction.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson expects Monaco’s quality to tell on the road.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Paris Brunner to score anytime | 11/8 (Sky Bet) | Paris Brunner has four Ligue 1 goals this season, which puts him among the top four scorers in France, and he has found the net in three of his five league appearances. He has also landed nine shots on target, so he is getting into dangerous positions regularly. Monaco won 2-1 at PSG earlier this season and arrive in Sofia as strong favourites, while CSKA lost both legs of their qualifying tie against OFI. Brunner to score anytime is 11/8 with Sky Bet. |
| Monaco 2-0 CSKA Sofia | 13/2 (bet365) | The gap in quality points to a comfortable Monaco win, and 2-0 fits the pattern of a controlled European away performance. Monaco have the attacking talent to break down a limited CSKA Sofia rearguard and the defensive class to keep the hosts quiet, just as the better sides did against the Bulgarians over the summer. CSKA failed to score in both legs of their final qualifying tie, so a shut-out is firmly on the cards here. At 13/2, the 2-0 correct score is the value call at the Stadion Vasil Levski. |

How CSKA Sofia go into the game
CSKA Sofia come into the league phase after a testing European summer, losing both legs to OFI in the final Europa League qualifying round to drop into the Conference League.
The Bulgarian side will draw on a passionate home crowd at the Stadion Vasil Levski, but they face a significant step up in class against Monaco.
How Monaco go into the game
Monaco arrive in good order, unbeaten in four of their last five Ligue 1 games, a run that included an eye-catching 2-1 win away at PSG.
With Folarin Balogun leading the line and plenty of pace in behind, the French side carry far more firepower than the hosts can handle.
CSKA Sofia vs Monaco head-to-head
The clubs have no competitive history, meeting for the first time in the Conference League.
