Bulgaria will host Northern Ireland in Plovdiv on September 8. Will the Bulgarians be able to remain undefeated in the eighth match in a row, or will Northern Ireland be able to build on their success and win their third game in a row? In the betting tip, we looked at the current form of the teams and selected the most reliable bets. What will be the outcome?

Command Analysis

Bulgaria

Current form

The Bulgarian national team has not impressed in the World and European Championship qualifiers for a long time, to put it mildly, and its results in the Nations League leave much to be desired. Ilian Iliev's team is not considered a favorite in its group, but they are certainly counting on fighting for second place in the company of Northern Ireland, Belarus and Luxembourg. The goalless draw against Belarus in the first round is unlikely to fully satisfy the Bulgarians.

Disqualifications and injuries

Filip Krastev is disqualified.

Interesting trends for betting

Bulgaria have not lost in their last seven matches – one win and six draws
Bulgaria have scored in their last two home matches

Northern Ireland

N. Ireland

Current form

Before the start of the group stage, the Northern Ireland team was considered one of the main favorites of their group – it is quite possible to compete with Belarus, Bulgaria and Luxembourg for first place. In the first round, Michael O'Neill's team fully justified this status, having achieved a very important and confident victory 2:0 over Luxembourg, thanks to which they led the group.

The visitors have no problems with their line-up.

At the same time, Northern Ireland scores regularly, has no problems with implementation, the guests are quite capable of responding.

Bet on the outcome

Northern Ireland beat Luxembourg in the first round, and the victory was the second in a row, but traditionally the "green-whites" are strong at home, and away from home they regularly fail. Bulgaria is in good shape, and will certainly strive to get the maximum at home - in the last five meetings, the Bulgarians of Northern Ireland have not lost, they are quite capable of extending the series.
