CSKA Sofia vs Monaco Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 15 October 2026
🔊 Monaco have visited Sofia twice for return legs against CSKA and gone out both times - in the European Cup in 1982/83 and in the UEFA Cup in 1984/85. Now the bookmakers firmly favour the visitors. CSKA have a different card to play - the stands: the club sold nearly 9,000 tickets in just over 24 hours.
Head-to-Head
The two sides have never met in an official match.
CSKA Sofia Team Overview
CSKA Sofia beat CSKA away in their last First League match, winning 3-2. They led 2-0 at half-time and finished the game with more possession (64% to 36%) and more shots (18 to 12), though they had fewer shots on target - 6 to their opponents' 8.
CSKA have shown two very different sides this season. In the Bulgarian league they sit second with 27 points, one behind leaders Levski, who also have a game in hand. Their Europa League qualifying campaign told a different story: they came through three rounds but then lost three matches in a row, with Greek side OFI ending their run in the play-offs - 0-5 on aggregate. On 29 September, German coach Markus Gisdol took charge, bringing experience from three Bundesliga clubs. His debut went well: in the derby against neighbours CSKA 1948, captain Bruno Jordão scored twice, with his second goal coming in the final minute of normal time to seal the win. Against Monaco, Gisdol will be without striker Mohamed Brahimi, who has been banned for three matches by UEFA following a red card in the first leg against OFI.
Match Results: CSKA Sofia
Monaco Team Overview
Monaco's home Ligue 1 match against Toulouse ended 2-2, despite the hosts leading 2-0 at half-time. Monaco had 16 shots to Toulouse's 9 and hit the woodwork twice, but both sides were level on shots on target at 4-4.
Monaco are top of Ligue 1 with 14 points from six matches. Filipe Luís has been in charge since July. His most notable result came in Paris, where Monaco beat PSG 2-1 despite trailing at half-time. Their last match before the trip to Sofia, however, also exposed a weakness. On 10 October Monaco hosted Toulouse, went 2-0 up, then conceded twice after the break. Filipe Luís acknowledged that the team eased off after the second goal. In that same match, captain Denis Zakaria went off with discomfort in his thigh. The Swiss midfielder himself described the substitution as a precaution.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
Monaco have scored in 22 of their last 23 matches, and that run is unlikely to end in Sofia. That said, the visitors have conceded in 11 of their last 12 away games. CSKA's matches have been anything but dull too: at least two goals combined in 13 consecutive games. Monaco are the favourites, but the hosts will almost certainly get on the scoresheet. The bet is Both Teams to Score - Yes. Predicted score: 1-2.
