Historical Statistical Verdict

From a historical perspective, the sample size in this matchup is extremely limited, but the numbers that do exist lean clearly toward OFI. The head-to-head record stands at one win from one match for the Greek side, with a 3-0 aggregate advantage built entirely from their home performance in Heraklion. The goals split of 3-0 and the average goals per match of 3.00 for OFI versus 0.00 for CSKA Sofia highlight how dominant that first meeting was.

However, CSKA Sofia’s broader UEFA Europa League season to date suggests they are capable of a response, with more wins than defeats and a steady scoring rate across 7 matches. The return to National Stadium Vasil Levski offers them a different environment to try to shift the dynamic of the tie. OFI, meanwhile, enter the second leg with a perfect early record in this European campaign and the comfort of a three-goal cushion. Overall, the statistical trends indicate OFI hold the upper hand in the CSKA Sofia vs OFI stats, but CSKA Sofia’s wider European form keeps the door open for a competitive and potentially tense second leg.
