Levski Sofia host AEK Athens in Champions League play-off clash
Levski Sofia will welcome AEK Athens FC to the Vivacom Arena Georgi Asparuhov on 18 August for a UEFA Champions League play-off fixture, with both sides arriving in strong recent form.
Form guide
Levski Sofia go into the tie having won four of their last five matches, losing none, a run that included a draw as their only blemish. AEK Athens FC have also been in good shape, winning three of their last five outings, though they suffered one defeat in that spell.
Comparing the two runs, Levski Sofia hold a slight edge in recent wins, four to AEK Athens FC's three, though both clubs head into the play-off round with confidence built on largely positive results.
What's at stake
The play-off stage represents a crucial hurdle for both clubs as they look to secure a place in the Champions League proper. With the tie taking place in Sofia, Levski will hope home advantage can help them build on their strong domestic momentum, while AEK Athens FC will look to carry their own recent wins into the Bulgarian capital.
