Universitatea Craiova vs Levski Sofia Live Stream & Predictions – Visitors Underestimated in the UCL
Levski continue to impress with four victories and one draw so far this season. In contrast, Universitatea Craiova have struggled in their last two games, exhibiting poor performances. Given these trends, the recommendation is to back Levski in the double chance market, meaning they are expected to either win or draw the upcoming fixture. This cautious bet leverages Levski's current momentum and Craiova’s dip in form for a higher probability outcome.

Levski haven’t lost a single match since early May and controlled the first tie after gaining an early lead. Universitatea Craiova looked disastrous last weekend in Romania, so I don’t see them winning the second tie.

Second Head-to-Head
Last week’s clash in Bulgaria was the first head to head match between Universitatea Craiova and Levski Sofia.
Romanian Champions Coming off Two Painful Losses
Universitatea Craiova kicked off their UEFA Champions League qualifying campaign in style, earning back to back victories against ML Vitebsk 4-1 & 1-0 to advance, firing 34 shots total in these encounters.
Their start to the new Liga I campaign was great too, crushing UTA Arad 4-0 at home, but problems started last week in Sofia, suffering a 1-0 defeat to Levski.
Craiova failed to recover and got demolished last weekend by Dinamo Bucharest 5-1 in the Romanian capital, the opposition posting 3.41 xG and firing 18 shots total.
Levski Looking Strong
Levski won their first domestic title since 2009 last season and started the UCL qualifying campaign by eliminating Borac Banja Luka 5-1 on aggregate (1-1 on the road, 4-0 win at home).
They also kicked off the new Bulgarian top flight campaign with a 2-1 victory against Dunav Ruse, dominating pitch with 69% possession and 12-3 shots on target.
The Blues then defeated Universitatea Craiova 1-0 last week in Sofia, Kristian Dimitrov scoring on Serginho’s assist in the 8th minute (allowed just one shot on target), while also winning the city derby against Lokomotiv Sofia 2-1 last weekend.

Verdict
Levski have four victories and one draw so far this season. Universitatea Craiova’s last two performances were quite poor, so I am backing the visitors in the double chance market.
