Slavia Sofia vs Levski Sofia Prediction: Derby Preview, Odds & Tips

If you’re searching for the most insightful Slavia Sofia vs Levski Sofia prediction, you’ve come to the right place. On December 4, 2025, at 16:00 GMT, the Aleksandar Shalamanov Stadium will host the latest chapter of the “Oldest Capital Derby”—a fixture that’s been stirring up Sofia since 1913. With both teams in intriguing form and plenty of sports betting interest, this is a match that promises more than just local bragging rights.

Historic Rivalry Meets Modern Stakes

There’s something special about a derby that’s older than most of our grandparents. Slavia and Levski, the two longest-standing football clubs in Sofia, have been at it for over a century. While Levski Sofia currently sits atop the Parva Liga table, Slavia Sofia are holding their own in 7th or 8th place, making this encounter far from a foregone conclusion.

Levski’s recent run is nothing short of impressive: 6 wins in their last 7 league outings and a stubborn refusal to settle for draws in their last 8 games. Slavia, meanwhile, are quietly building momentum—undefeated in their last 8 league matches and with 4 wins from their last 6. If you’re a fan of head to head stats, Levski have the historical edge, winning 34 out of 55 meetings, while Slavia have managed 12 wins and 9 draws. In their most recent encounter, Levski edged it 1-0, but Slavia have shown they can surprise, as seen in their 2-2 draw with CSKA Sofia earlier this season.

Tactics, Team News & Key Players

On the tactical front, Levski Sofia, now under the guidance of Julio Velázquez, have been playing with the confidence of a team that knows how to control games. Expect them to dominate possession—our prediction suggests a whopping 66%—and create plenty of chances. Mustapha Sangaré is the man to watch, having already bagged 8 goals, while Marin Petkov and Everton Bala add further firepower. Mazire Soula’s creativity (5 assists) could be the difference-maker.

Slavia Sofia, led by Zlatomir Zagorcic, will need to be resilient. With key players like Diego Ferraresso, Iliyan Stefanov, and Denislav Aleksandrov sidelined, the pressure falls on Iliev and Guermouche (3 goals each) to find a way past Levski’s defense. Emil Stoev and Ivan Minchev’s playmaking abilities (3 assists each) will be crucial if Slavia are to spring a surprise.

AI-Driven Slavia Sofia vs Levski Sofia Prediction & Betting Odds

Now, let’s get nerdy with our Slavia Sofia vs Levski Sofia prediction. According to our AI-powered sports betting model, Levski Sofia are clear favorites with odds of 1.55 for an away win, compared to a hefty 8.0 for a Slavia upset and 4.3 for a draw. The best tip? Back Levski to win (market “2”), with a confidence rating of 5.9/10. For the 1x2 market, the trust level nudges up to 6.0, reinforcing the away win pick.

Our AI expects Levski to control the tempo, taking around 13 shots (6 on target) compared to Slavia’s 7 (2 on target). The predicted final score is 0:2, with Levski likely to be ahead 0:1 at halftime. Expect a fairly open game, with over 1.55 goals looking like a solid bet (confidence 3.5, odds 1.35). Even the corners and yellow cards are expected to be evenly split, so don’t expect too much drama from the referee.

What the Numbers Tell Us

  • Squad value matters: Levski’s squad is valued at €29.10m, dwarfing Slavia’s €8.21m. That financial muscle often translates to results, especially in derbies.
  • Head to head history favors Levski, but Slavia’s recent form and home advantage could make things interesting for sports betting fans.
  • Betting odds reflect Levski’s dominance, but as we’ve seen in previous derbies, surprises are always possible.

Final Thoughts: Is There Room for an Upset?

While our Slavia Sofia vs Levski Sofia prediction leans heavily towards the away side, football has a way of defying the odds—just ask anyone who watched Slavia hold CSKA Sofia to a 2-2 draw earlier this season. Still, with Levski’s superior squad, recent form, and historical dominance, it’s hard to look past them for the win. If you’re betting, the smart money is on Levski, but keep an eye on those over 1.55 goals odds—this derby rarely disappoints.

Whether you’re a die-hard fan or just here for the sports betting tips, this “Oldest Capital Derby” promises another memorable chapter in Sofia’s football history. Stay tuned for more predictions and enjoy the game!
