Spartak are in a good run
Spartak Varna arrive here in pretty good form after 3 wins in 5 (D2) and 2 consecutive victories. Their last 2 results have been very impressive; a 2-0 away win over PFC Montana 1921 and a 3-0 rout of PFC Lokomotiv Sofia at home. For this Spartak Varna vs FC CSKA 1948 preview, they are a fairly solid, yet unexceptional team, having won just 4 of their last 10 (D2, L4) in all competitions, and their success here will depend on the performances of top scorer and team leader Georg Stojanovski, who has 4 of their 8 goals in the last 5 games.
Cagey affair likely, with visitors to just edge it
FC CSKA 1948 are a slightly stronger outfit than their hosts, as is evident by their record of 5 wins, 2 draws and just 3 defeats from their last 10 matches in all competitions, but they are in mixed form coming into this one (W1, D2, L2). Their recent results include a 1-1 draw away at PFC CSKA Sofia, a 1-0 home win against Ludogorets Razgrad and a 0-0 draw against Levski Sofia.
CSKA 1948 are the clear favorites at 1.7 here, but Spartak Varna at 4.92 and the Draw at 3.55 is a little too generous, considering CSKA's recent results and the H2H record in this league. In the 5 H2H games in Parva Liga, Spartak have won 0, CSKA 1 and there have been 4 draws (all within the 90 minutes). CSKA won the most recent game 2-1 away from home in Parva Liga 2025/2026 and Spartak have failed to win any of their last 3 home games against them. The PFC Spartak Varna vs FC CSKA 1948 prediction points to another close contest.
Stalemate at Spartak
Gjokica Hadzievski has set up his Spartak Varna side to be a tough, compact unit, operating a hybrid 4-3-3/4-1-4-1, which is built on structure, patience and making sharp vertical runs when the ball is won in the right areas. Sasho Aleksandrov's CSKA side are more vertical in their approach and will operate in either a 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3, but will build up the ball from the back and press to force turnovers high up the field.
The hosts will most likely try to contain CSKA 1948, while CSKA will attempt to break down the home side's block through the half-spaces and wide overloads. This is unlikely to be an offensive matchup, but both teams to score at 1.88 and under 2.5 goals at 1.8 seems a better option than going with the visitors to take all 3 points in 90 minutes. Our Spartak Varna vs FC CSKA 1948 betting tips lean toward a low-scoring draw.
