PFC Levski Sofia – Jagiellonia Bialystok Preview – Who needs the points more?
Levski Sofia vs Jagiellonia Bialystok betting tips start with an awkward contrast. In the First League, Levski have been the team to catch. In Europe, they did not win either of their last two home games.

Jagiellonia arrive with the opposite problem: a bright start to the Europa League league phase that has gone sour. Kick-off is on 5 November 2026 at 17:45 GMT.
We rate Levski as slight favourites, and that feels about right. They beat Plzen away last time out in Europe, and their domestic run has kept them at or near the top of the table. But the home European record is thin. A 0-1 loss to Salzburg and a goalless draw with AEK in qualifying, followed by a 0-4 defeat in the return leg in Athens, tell you this side can be both toothless and exposed against better opposition.
Jagiellonia are coming off a 0-3 home defeat to Anderlecht, which followed a 3-1 win over Ararat-Armenia. The Polish side have scored regularly in Europe this season. They also knocked out Rangers in qualifying, so they are not short of nerve. Adrian Siemieniec’s team will not be afraid of this trip.
PFC Levski Sofia – Jagiellonia Bialystok Betting Tips
Betting Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Jagiellonia Bialystok have seen three or more goals in each of their last five matches
- Jagiellonia Bialystok have scored 10 goals in their last five matches
Jagiellonia shipped three against Anderlecht, and Levski conceded four in Athens during qualifying. Neither side has shown it can shut a game down against decent opposition. Add the need for points on both sides and the game should be stretched. Over 2.5 goals is the cleanest way into that.
Betting Tip: Both teams to score
- PFC Levski Sofia have conceded in four of their last five matches
- Jagiellonia Bialystok have scored in four of their last five matches
- Jagiellonia Bialystok have conceded in four of their last five matches
Jagiellonia have scored in four of their last five, and Levski found the net away at Plzen. Levski’s home European record is the one worry, but Jagiellonia’s attack travels well enough to take care of their half of this bet. We expect goals at both ends.
Betting Tip: Double chance Jagiellonia Bialystok or draw
- Jagiellonia Bialystok have won three of their last five matches
This is the safety play. Levski failed to score in both home European games, against Salzburg and AEK, and that matters when they are rated as the stronger side. Backing Jagiellonia to avoid defeat covers the draw, which is a live outcome here, and the upset too. You can check the latest match odds and place these bets on the sportsbook before kick-off.
What to expect in Sofia
Both teams need points, and neither has built its European season on clean sheets. That points to an open game. Levski have shown they can score away from home (the winner at Plzen came on the road), while Jagiellonia have found the net in most of their recent matches.
If you want more context on how Levski have been travelling in the competition, our look at their win at Plzen is a useful companion. For Jagiellonia, the home loss to Anderlecht shows how quickly they can be picked apart when they lose their shape.
