Sepsi hosts CSKA Sofia at the Arena Sepsi OSK on Thursday in the second leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League second qualifying round.
Sepsi hosts CSKA Sofia at the Arena Sepsi OSK on Thursday in the second leg of the UEFA Europa Conference League second qualifying round. The Romanian side holds a two-goal advantage from the first leg, having beaten CSKA 2-0 in the Bulgarian capital last week. Nicolae Paun broke the deadlock for Sepsi in the 68th minute before Roland Varga doubled their advantage with ten minutes remaining. It has been a good start to the 2023-24 season for Sepsi, who won the Supercupa Romaniei after beating Farul and going unbeaten in their first three league games.
Just days after their successful Sofia conquest, Liviu Ciobotariu’s side picked up another huge away win against Dinamo Bucuresti. Goals from Pavol Safranko, Isnik Alimi and Adnan Aganovic earned them a 3-0 win. Sepsi has three games from seven games as of now. Sepsi is currently in the third position in the Romanian SuperLiga. Sofia, meanwhile, has stuttered this season. The Reds drew goalless with Hebar 1918 in their opening league game before seeing off Krumovgrad 1-0. Their European campaign also hangs on a thin thread. In the first leg, they were defeated by a very clinical Sepsi side. To turnaround things, Sofia must now improve their performance against a determined Sepsi side. From the game results point of view, it should be an easy win for Sepsi.
