1.70Tip and bets
The match will be held at a neutral stadium, so neither team will have a home field advantage. The defensive play leaves much to be desired for both teams. Taking all these factors into account, we will bet that both the nominal hosts and the guests will be able to score in 90 minutes of play.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 2.16
Bet on the outcome
Bulgaria are huge favourites. We agree with this assumption. They have not lost in their last six matches, so it is quite possible that they will extend this streak and will be able to win against a rather weak opponent.
Prediction - Bulgaria win with odds of 1.89
Bet on corners
It is unlikely that there will be many corner flag deliveries in this match, as we expect a careful and cautious game, with a small number of dangerous moments created.
Betting Tip - total under with odds of 2.20
