SOFIA, Bulgaria (Interstat) — The fiercest rivalry in Bulgarian football reignites Saturday as PFK Levski Sofia hosts PFK CSKA Sofia in the Eternal Derby, a match that finds the two historic clubs in starkly different form.

Levski enters the First League fixture at its Georgi Asparuhov Stadium in dominant fashion. The Blues are atop the table with a 10-1-4 league record (11-1-4 across all competitions), having scored 19 goals in their last six matches across all tournaments. They are riding a wave of momentum following a 3-0 road win at Arda last Sunday.

In contrast, CSKA has struggled for consistency, sitting mid-table with a 3-6-2 league record (4-2-6 overall). The Reds have shown recent signs of life, however, securing back-to-back league victories, including a 3-1 home win against Montana last weekend that snapped a five-match winless streak in the domestic competition.

The derby is always a tense, physical affair that often transcends the current standings. Levski will look to its potent attack to overpower a CSKA side that has found goals harder to come by. According to the Interstat game simulator, the match is projected to be a tight, low-scoring affair, ending in a 1-0 victory for the home side.

Kickoff is set for Saturday, Nov. 8, 2025, in the Bulgarian capital.
