3 Home advantage + Maccabi's dominant recent away performances
4 Both teams 50%+ BTTS rate; combined expected goals ~3.8
5 No H2H data; limited CSKA away sample (2 matches)

📝 Detailed Analysis

Maccabi Tel Aviv is in strong form (W3, 2.0 goals/match avg) vs CSKA Sofia's recent inconsistency (W1D3 in last 5). Home advantage and recent dominance (5-0 away win vs Sheriff, 3-1 away win) suggest Maccabi control. CSKA concedes 0.9/match but faces an in-form attacking side. Both teams show 50%+ BTTS rates; Maccabi's 70% O2.5 rate and CSKA's 67% align with Over 2.5. Market slightly undervalues home win (50.4% fair vs 54.1% vigged); BTTS fairly priced. Moderate confidence due to no H2H and limited away data for CSKA.
