The oldest Sofia derby takes centre stage as mid-table Slavia Sofia host league leaders Levski Sofia.

Form & Standings

• Levski Sofia: Perfect start — 6 wins from 6 games, 18 goals scored, only 3 conceded. Top of the table with 18 points. Coming off a 3-1 away win at Botev Plovdiv.
• Slavia Sofia: 1 win, 4 draws, 1 loss from 6 games (7 points). Hard to beat (only one defeat) but lacking cutting edge, with several recent draws including 1-1 vs Ludogorets and Septemvri Sofia.

Levski are clear favourites, but the derby atmosphere and Slavia’s defensive organisation could make it a tight contest.

Team News

Levski are missing a few players (including Radoslav Kirilov, Oliver Kamdem, and others recovering), though coach Julio Velázquez has most of the squad available. No major new absences reported for Slavia.

Head-to-Head

Levski hold the historical edge in the fixture (more wins overall), though derbies often produce competitive, low-scoring games.

Prediction

Slavia Sofia 0-2 Levski Sofia

Levski’s superior quality, attacking form and league-leading momentum should see them claim all three points in the capital derby, even away from home. Expect them to control possession and create the clearer chances.
