CSKA 1948 vs Trnava Prediction 28 July 2026
📢 Will the second leg between CSKA 1948 and Spartak Trnava have more to offer? The first match of the second qualifying round of the Conference League was about as uneventful as it gets - no goals, nothing much to speak of. That result suited the Bulgarian club well enough, with the return leg coming at their ground. But it guarantees nothing - they'll still have to earn their place in the next round.

CSKA 1948 have only been through Conference League qualifying twice before, and only once made it past the second round. The away draw against Spartak Trnava gives the Bulgarian club a real chance to match that. In the first leg they were level with their opponents - 50% possession, 11 shots to 15, two on target each. At home, they'll look to be more aggressive. Over the weekend they also played a league match, beating Botev 2:1. That win should give the hosts some confidence going into the second leg.

Spartak Trnava Team Overview
Spartak Trnava's last official match was in the Slovak Super Liga against Skalica, ending 1-1. Here's how the stats broke down (Spartak Trnava vs Skalica):
- possession: 59% vs 41%;
- corners: 4 vs 9;
- fouls: 15 vs 20;
- yellow cards: 2 vs 3;
- shots on target: 6 vs 5.
The fifth edition of the Conference League is underway, and Spartak have been involved in every previous one - reaching at least the third qualifying round each time. Repeating that this season won't be straightforward, given how unconvincing they looked at home against CSKA 1948. This is a tight tie, and a lot comes down to who makes better use of home advantage - and Spartak simply didn't do enough to deserve a win in the first leg. At the weekend they also failed to beat Skalica, despite being clear favourites. It ended 1-1, so they go to Bulgaria in poor form and low on confidence.

⭐ Editor's Prediction
The bookmakers have CSKA 1948 as clear favourites here. But the Bulgarian side won't have it easy - Spartak Trnava away from home can sit deep, close off space and look to hit on the counter.
