About The Match
This is a meeting of two sides still searching for their first point of the season, and the market's lean toward Nijmegen rests almost entirely on home advantage rather than any evidence from the pitch. Nijmegen have shipped 5 goals in their only league match while Levski Sofia have conceded just 1, yet the visitors have also failed to score in all three of their most recent outings. The key uncertainty is whether Levski Sofia's tighter defence can hold up away from home, given that their own attack has produced nothing so far.
