Combo Double chance : draw or Levski Sofia and -2.5 goals

AEK Athens and Levski Sofia are set to face each other in the Champions League, and it looks like it could be a tight, low-scoring affair. Their most recent meeting just over a week ago ended in a goalless draw, which suggests the two sides are very evenly matched. Levski Sofia have been in slightly better form lately, picking up a win and a couple of draws, whereas AEK Athens have struggled, losing heavily in their last match and drawing a few times before that.

Neither side has been scoring a lot of goals recently, and with the last game between them finishing 0-0, another close contest seems likely. AEK are at home but their recent results have been poor, while Levski Sofia look more stable and confident. Given how tight this matchup has been and the away team's better recent shape, a draw seems like the most probable outcome, though Levski Sofia have a slight edge if either team manages to snatch a win.

  • AEK dominate possession on average (58.41%) but have failed to convert that into wins, while Levski average 52.67% possession.
  • The prediction percentages are nearly even—45% for a draw and 45% for a Levski Sofia win—suggesting a highly competitive and low-scoring affair.

  • The bookmaker 1xBet offers odds of 2.49 for a Draw/Away double chance, the highest value for this predicted outcome.
