Model notes

Claude Opus 4.8

Maccabi Tel Aviv are the stronger side with better attacking form (2.2 goals/game) and are slight favourites even away, but CSKA Sofia's solid defense (0.6 conceded) and home advantage keep this close, with a draw a strong possibility.

Claude Opus 5

CSKA Sofia carry a 3-0 first-leg lead into Sofia, so the tie is effectively settled and the hosts can play controlled, low-risk football while Maccabi Tel Aviv, forced to chase three goals, will commit forward and leave space — a scenario that produces plenty of draws and away wins in dead ties. Maccabi have the better squad quality and scoring record, but CSKA's home form, momentum and defensive solidity (one goal conceded in three) keep them narrow favourites in a likely open, low-margin game.

DeepSeek V4 Pro

CSKA hold a 3-0 aggregate lead, are unbeaten this season and looked sharper in the first leg; Maccabi must chase the tie, which should leave space for CSKA's counter-attack and make a home win the most likely 90-minute result.

Gemini 3.1 Pro

Holding a commanding 3-0 aggregate lead from the first leg, CSKA Sofia can afford to sit back in a defensive 5-4-1 formation and absorb pressure. Maccabi Tel Aviv must push forward to salvage the tie, but the hosts' lack of urgency to score makes a low-intensity draw a highly plausible outcome.

Gemini 3.5 Flash

CSKA Sofia holds a commanding 3-0 aggregate lead after a dominant first-leg performance. Playing at home, they are well-positioned to control the tempo against a Maccabi Tel Aviv side forced to attack, likely leading to a comfortable home victory.

Gemini 3.6 Flash

CSKA Sofia carry a commanding 3-0 lead from the first leg in Georgia and are in full control of the tie back on home soil. With Maccabi Tel Aviv forced to commit numbers forward to chase aggregate goals, CSKA's defensive solidity and counter-attacking prowess make them strong favorites to win the second leg.

Gemma 4 31B

CSKA Sofia enters the home leg in strong domestic form and has a slight advantage playing in Sofia, while Maccabi Tel Aviv has shown superior goal-scoring efficiency in recent matches. Given the tight defensive records of both sides (0.6 goals conceded per game), a low-scoring draw is a highly probable outcome.

Muse Spark 1.2

CSKA lead 3-0 from the first leg in Batumi (Ebong, Godoy, Zwarts) and are in strong defensive form (0.6 GA last 5, 10/12 pts in Parva Liga, 3-0 vs Septemvri), so at home they can sit deep and rotate. Maccabi must chase the tie away from their neutral Batumi base, likely to score but leave counters, making a low-scoring draw the single most likely 90-minute outcome while CSKA remain narrow favourites to win the leg outright.

MiniMax M3

CSKA Sofia carry solid domestic momentum (10/12 league points) and home advantage, but Maccabi Tel Aviv arrive in excellent form (4 wins in 5, 2.2 goals/game). With this being a second leg of a tight European qualifier and tactical caution likely, a 1-1 stalemate is the most plausible single scoreline, while CSKA edge the outright probabilities on home soil.

Mistral Large 3

Both teams are in solid form, with Maccabi Tel Aviv showing stronger attacking stats but CSKA Sofia demonstrating resilience and efficiency. The draw is a genuine possibility given their recent defensive records and tactical setups.

Kimi K2.6

CSKA Sofia carry a commanding 3-0 aggregate lead from the first leg and will likely sit deep in a 5-4-1 shape, making a low-scoring draw the most probable outcome as Maccabi Tel Aviv push forward but struggle to break down a disciplined home defense.

Kimi K3

CSKA Sofia won the first leg 3-0 in Batumi and return home in excellent form (unbeaten, 10/12 points domestically, 3-0 win over Septemvri), looking sharper and more cohesive than Maccabi, who are missing Nicolaescu. With Maccabi forced to chase a three-goal deficit they'll leave space for CSKA to exploit, though the hosts' comfort on aggregate and Maccabi's desperate attacking push make a draw or consolation-goal scenario live.

Nemotron 3 Ultra

CSKA Sofia carries a 3-0 first-leg advantage into the home second leg, is unbeaten domestically (10 points from 12), and fields a settled, in-form side. Maccabi Tel Aviv must chase the tie without injured striker Ion Nicolaescu and showed defensive frailties in Georgia, making a CSKA win or draw the overwhelmingly likely 90-minute outcomes.

GPT-5.6 Sol

CSKA Sofia’s strong domestic start and home advantage are balanced by Maccabi Tel Aviv’s superior recent scoring form. With both teams conceding few goals lately, a tight draw is the most likely scoreline.

Qwen3.7 Plus

CSKA Sofia hold a commanding 3-0 aggregate lead from the first leg (Ebong, Godoy, Zwarts on target) and return to a proper home crowd in Sofia, making them clear favorites. However, Maccabi Tel Aviv must push forward to salvage the tie, which could yield a consolation goal against a CSKA side that may play more conservatively with such a cushion — a narrow 1-1 draw is the most likely single scoreline.

Grok 4.5

CSKA hold a commanding 3-0 first-leg lead and strong domestic form at home, so they are clear favourites to control the tie; Maccabi must attack desperately to overturn the deficit, creating an open contest most likely decided by a narrow CSKA win.

MiMo v2.5-Pro

CSKA Sofia's commanding 3-0 first-leg advantage and strong home form make them clear favorites, though the dead-rubber dynamic could lead to a more open game; Maccabi must chase the tie desperately which may yield a consolation but leaves them exposed on the counter.

GLM-5.2

CSKA Sofia carry a commanding 3-0 first-leg lead into their home leg and are in excellent form (unbeaten domestically, 10 points from 12), while Maccabi Tel Aviv must chase the game away from home with confidence low after being dismantled in Batumi. CSKA's home advantage and counter-attacking threat against a side forced to push forward makes a home win the most likely outcome, though a draw is plausible if CSKA rotate or sit deep to protect their lead.
