CSKA Sofia arrive at their Conference League debut in decent domestic form, four wins from five, but that run has come entirely against Bulgarian opposition. Monaco, unbeaten in five across Ligue 1 and a friendly, beat PSG away and held Toulouse at home in their most recent league outing. The class gap here is substantial.
Both sides have scored in 5 of their last 5 matches and conceded in 4 of 5, so goals are expected on both sides. Monaco have kept just one clean sheet in five, and CSKA have shipped six goals in their last five. The market prices Monaco at 1.44 to 1.48 for a straight win, with Draw No Bet available at 1.19 on bet365.
The DNB Away at 1.19 removes the draw risk on a side that should have too much quality for a Bulgarian top-flight team on a European debut. The price is short, but the edge is real. Back Monaco DNB.
