Historical Statistical Verdict

From a historical and statistical perspective, CSKA Sofia hold the clear upper hand in this pairing. The head-to-head record stands at one win from one match, with a 3-0 aggregate advantage built entirely on the away leg in Batumi. Overall goals and averages are heavily tilted towards the Bulgarian side, and their Europa League season to date reinforces that picture: unbeaten in 5 matches, with 4 victories, 9 goals scored and only 3 conceded.

Maccabi Tel Aviv, by contrast, approach the second leg needing to reverse both the numerical deficit and the momentum of the tie. Their seasonal numbers show they are capable of scoring freely, particularly away, and they have kept two clean sheets in three matches. However, the only direct meeting so far ended in a decisive defeat, and the venue shift to Sofia adds another layer of difficulty.

Taken together, the CSKA Sofia vs Maccabi Tel Aviv stats and limited head-to-head history point towards CSKA Sofia entering the home leg in a statistically favourable position, with control of the tie and the stronger overall Europa League record in 2026. Maccabi Tel Aviv will need an exceptional performance to alter those trends and extend their European run.
