CSKA Sofia vs OFI

A Europa League League Phase spot is on the line as CSKA Sofia host OFI Crete in the second leg of their play-off tie. The Bulgarians have already fought through three qualifying rounds, while OFI Crete are back in Europe for the first time in six years after their remarkable rise up Greek football. CSKA Sofia arrive in excellent shape, unbeaten in five domestically and boasting summer signing Joel Zwarts, who has scored five goals in as many league games. OFI Crete reached this point by lifting the Greek Cup against AEK Athens and then edging the Super Cup too, with loanee Dimitrios Nikolaou and new arrival Aitor Cantalapiedra among their key men. The two sides have never met before, so there's no history to lean on. With CSKA Sofia's momentum and home advantage, expect a tight, cagey affair in Sofia. Our prediction: 2-1.
