CSKA 1948 Sofia vs Panathinaikos: prediction & betting odds 11 August 2026

Published: 9 August 2026 22:01

The second leg of the UEFA Conference League third qualifying round between CSKA 1948 and Panathinaikos will take place in Sofia 11 August 2026 at 18:30 BST.

The first game in Athens was open and high-scoring — 1:1, with the Bulgarian club equalising just 10 minutes after the hosts' goal. That result was an unexpectedly good one for the visitors and kept the intrigue alive ahead of the return leg.

Betting Tip

CSKA 1948 edged through the second qualifying round with difficulty, beating Trnava (0:0 and 0:0) only on penalties. However, that is certainly no reason to write the team off. At the very least, they have not lost an official match this season: four wins and three draws. And in Athens, CSKA were not afraid to play an open game and produced 19 shots with a total xG of 1.24.

Panathinaikos are considered favourites in the tie thanks to their higher-quality squad and international experience — the team are coached by Jacob Neestrup, who favours attacking football, while new players such as Stefan de Vrij are gradually adapting to the coaching staff's demands. At the same time, the Greek club have still not started their league campaign, so they have had the chance to recover fully and prepare for the return match.

The hosts will push forward from the opening minutes, forcing their opponents to break on the counter and increase the tempo. In that case, we can confidently expect another shootout with plenty of goals. We think the sides will manage to frustrate each other.
