Bulgarian First League matches

Entities: Dunav Ruse · Ludogorets Razgrad · CSKA Sofia · Botev Vratsa · Botev Plovdiv

Overview

Late July 2026 saw several Bulgarian First League results, including Ludogorets Razgrad’s 1‑0 win over Dunav Ruse and Botev Plovdiv’s 1‑0 victory against CSKA Sofia.

A week later the league’s focus turned to the third‑round clash scheduled for 2 August 2026 at Vasil Levski National Stadium, where CSKA Sofia host Dunav Ruse. CSKA entered as clear favourites after a recent Europa League win, with odds around 1.25. Dunav’s coach Emmanuel Lukov confirmed the squad was fit but noted forward Jordan Saint‑Louis and winger Charles Apia remained unavailable due to paperwork. Volen Chinkov was appointed referee and Dunav supporters organized a bus trip from Ruse to Sofia.

On the day of the matches, the efbet Liga published the starting line‑ups. CSKA’s XI for the Dunav game was released minutes before kickoff, outlining the tactical setup. In a separate fixture, Ludogorets Razgrad’s lineup for its encounter with Botev Vratsa was also disclosed, giving fans insight into both teams’ selections.

These updates trace the early season’s results, the buildup to the CSKA‑Dunav showdown, and the final team selections that shaped the August fixtures.
