It’s the 3rd qualifying round of the Europa League  and we got a good betting tip for today involving the Bulgarian side CSKA Sofia. CSKA is hosting Cliftonville in the only Europe League fixture for the 27th of July. This 3rd qualification round of the Europa League features 35 different ties and the respective winners will proceed to the Playoff, where they will be joined by additional 41 clubs. So this is not the last stage of qualification for Europe’s second best football tournament as there will be another round where those who got eliminated from the Champions League qualifiers will also chip in.

CSKA Sofia v Cliftonville Prediction

What’s certain about this particular Europa League prediction is that it won’t be a high quality football encounter as CSKA Sofia comes from the lowly  Bulgarian A Group, while Cliftonville are a semi-amateur type of side with most of its players actually having to work a day job for living. CSKA is certainly the better side of the two and will surely eliminate their opponents from Ireland, but truth is that they are not exactly top class either.

CSKA Sofia is going through a difficult period right now as they are constantly changing players, coaches, tactical systems and are not even allowed to play their home games at their own stadium. They lost their last friendly 2-5 against Omonia from Cyprus so things are not looking good for them. However, Cliftonville is a poor side by any standards and shouldn’t cause much difficulties for the Bulgarian team in this fixture.

Our CSKA Sofia v Cliftonville prediction is for a home win but the odds are quite low as bwin offers just 1,15 for CSKA to win. Yet, given that CSKA is the much better side here they should be able to win with at least 2 goals difference so one of the most profitable soccer predictions for today is to bet on CSKA to beat Cliftonville with a -1,5 Hendicap.

So here is our first Europa League betting tip for today, the odds are given by our official betting partner bwin:
