AI match recap

CSKA enter the Sofia meeting as league leaders in strong domestic form, with Slavia needing a far more resilient display than their recent attacking output suggests. The return to Bulgarska Armiya is the defining emotional backdrop and should lift the hosts' pressing and early tempo. Slavia's route is to stay narrow, frustrate CSKA in central areas and make transitions and dead balls count. Team news around Joel Zwarts and Bruno Jordão is the major late check before the line-ups.
