Lineups

Squad Ratings

The overall squad rating for CSKA Sofia is 7.07, compared to 6.85 for Beroe. This metric is derived from each player's average match rating across all league appearances this season — anything above 7.00 is considered strong, while below 6.50 signals inconsistency. CSKA Sofia's highest-rated starter is J. Eto'o (7.33), while Beroe's best-rated player is Arthur (7.36).

Attacking Output

The starting XI of CSKA Sofia have contributed 5 goals and 7 assists this season, led by J. Eto'o (3G). Beroe's starters account for 3 goals and 6 assists, spearheaded by Alberto Salido (2G). Goals reflect clinical finishing and chance creation, while assists highlight the ability to unlock defences through through-balls, crosses, and set pieces.

Defensive Solidity

CSKA Sofia deploy 4 defenders rated 7.03 on average, against Beroe's 4-man backline averaging 6.63. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Midfield Control

CSKA Sofia field 4 midfielders averaging 7.11, versus Beroe's 4 rated 6.83. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.

Forward Threat

CSKA Sofia start 2 forward(s) averaging —, compared to 2 for Beroe averaging 7.04. Forward ratings capture shot accuracy, movement off the ball, dribbling success, and involvement in build-up play — they indicate who carries the greater goal threat on the day.

Passing & Build-Up

Passing accuracy averages 83% for CSKA Sofia and 80% for Beroe. Higher passing accuracy generally indicates a possession-based style with patient build-up through the thirds, while lower figures may suggest a more direct, counter-attacking approach with long balls and quick transitions.

Discipline

CSKA Sofia's starters have collected 18 yellow cards this season, compared to 16 for Beroe. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Age & Experience

The average age of CSKA Sofia's starting XI is 27.3 (youngest: F. Lapoukhov (22), oldest: L. Cooper (34)), while Beroe average 23.4 (youngest: S. Yovkov (18), oldest: J. Salomoni (28)). Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.

Squad Depth

CSKA Sofia's starters average 7 league appearances each, versus 14 for Beroe. High appearance counts indicate an established, well-drilled unit that the manager trusts week in and week out. Lower figures may suggest rotation, injuries, or emerging players still earning their place in the team.
