CSKA Sofia host Monaco at Vasil Levski in Sofia in a Conference League fixture that pits a Bulgarian side riding domestic momentum against a Monaco team who have been one of the form sides in Ligue 1 this season.
CSKA Sofia arrive in good shape domestically. Markus Gisdol's side have won three of their last five matches across all competitions, including a 2-3 win over CSKA 1948 in their most recent outing in the First Professional League.
Monaco, managed by Filipe Luis, come into this match off the back of a 2-2 draw with Toulouse in Ligue 1. Before that, they beat Lens 2-1 and recorded a notable 1-2 win away at Paris Saint-Germain, underlining the quality this squad possesses.
Both teams currently sit first in the Conference League standings, which gives this fixture added weight as the two sides look to assert early dominance in the competition.
Ansu Fati, the former Barcelona forward, has been working his way back from a calf problem that kept him out since pre-season and could feature for Monaco in the coming weeks, offering Filipe Luis an additional attacking option as the fixture schedule intensifies.
Chelsea's interest in Monaco midfielder Lamine Camara continues to attract attention, with the Premier League club unwilling to meet Monaco's €70 million valuation. Whether that saga affects squad harmony remains to be seen.
