Levski coach Nikolay Kostov is considering different options for how his team will look in the derby with CSKA on Saturday. The match at Vasil Levski Stadium starts at 16:15. The Blues coach is likely to bet on Fabio Lima on the right wing from the first minute.
The Blues winger was injured in the match with Sportist Svoge on March 23 but is now fit to play. The Brazilian suffered a hamstring strain that ruled him out for four matches. The coaching staff decided not to risk him from the first minute against Beroe (1:0) in the last round and he appeared in the game in the 61st minute in place of Patrik Mislovic. The 27-year-old winger has scored two goals in six matches since the start of spring. The Brazilian scored one of them with a decisive and very beautiful goal, bringing success over Heber with 1:0 in Pazardzhik.
Kostov’s decision to start Lima against CSKA will send his Everton compatriot Bala to the bench. The coach will certainly not touch Marin Petkov. The 20-year-old youth international is in excellent form and has been Levski’s sharpest player since the start of the second half of the season, scoring five goals. On the other hand, Everton’s Bala has not been able to adapt well to his native football, shows passives in forward positions and is still looking for his first goal.
