Before the game: Levski - CSKA


The "вечно дерби" is how this match is known in Bulgaria, meaning the never ending derbi.

What makes it so special? Since the mid 50s, Levski and CSKA proved to be the 2 most successful Bulgarian team. Their are also the teams with most fans in Bulgaria. Simply those statistics make the game so interesting. And what about tomorrow's game in particular? Well, this is the first match of the second half of the season. The game will show the team's performance and how well each of the teams have practiced during the winter brake. What's more some new players (Daniel Dimov and Matondo for Levski) might appear in the game, recieving a wonderful chance for debute - against the eternal enemy. The top scorer of the league seems in good shape (G.Dembele- Levski PFC), but so do the CSKA players. In my opinion Milen Radukanov will prefer the team play instead of individual efforts. What about the result? Curently CSKA are 6th with 6 points less then the first, Levski. But does this mean the score is obvious. In my opinion not. Both Levsi and CSKA had previously proven strong after a serious crisis, and maybe this is the game where the red might prove their history deserved. Anyhow the coefficients give a lower number for Levski, for obvious reasons. What do I thing about the whole thing? All I can be sure is that we won't see more than a 2 goal difference. All three endings of the match are possible.
