LiontipsBulgaria vs Belarus. Forecast (odds 2.36) and bets on the Nations League match
Command Analysis
Current form
In five rounds, Bulgaria scored only two goals, while conceding five times. However, even with such a weak goal difference, the team managed to score eight points, is in second place and even has a chance to finish first if they win today, and Northern Ireland loses to Luxembourg. At the same time, the Bulgarians may be left without the second position if they lose the upcoming match, since Belarus is two points behind. In the last round, Ilian Iliev team snatched an important victory away from Luxembourg with a minimal score of 1:0.
Disqualifications and injuries
Forward Kiril Despodov will not play due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
Interesting trends for betting
- Bulgaria have not lost in the first half in four of their last five matches
- In Bulgaria previous six Nations League matches, at least one team failed to score
- The team has not scored more than one goal in six consecutive matches in the Nations League
Approximate lineup: Mitov - Popov, Petkov, Petrov, Nuremberger - Kirilov, Yusein, Kraev, Minchev - Krastev, Kolev.
Current form
Belarus approaches the final round in third place in the group, having scored six points. The team will not fall back to last place, as it has a four-point lead over Luxembourg. It is possible to rise to second place, displacing the Bulgarians from there, in case of a victory today. Obviously, in such a situation, the guests need to play attacking, number one. However, Carlos Alos Ferrer charges have big problems with this, considering that in five matches they have scored only two goals, and they are clearly relying on defense (only three goals conceded in the passive). The Belarusian team went four rounds without defeat in the group, but in the last away game they were unable to do anything against Northern Ireland (0:2).
Disqualifications and injuries
Due to an accumulation of yellow cards, defender Kirill Pechenin will miss the upcoming match.

6.30Tip and bets
From the tournament point of view, both teams need only a win. At the same time, Bulgaria is unlikely to be eager to take an unjustified risk and lose second place. It is not possible to say that the hosts have a significant advantage in class; it is no coincidence that the opponents drew in the first round. We believe that Belarus is quite capable of playing on equal terms today.
Our prediction is a victory for Belarus with an Asian handicap (+1) at odds of 1.60
Bet on total
Bookmakers do not believe at all that the teams will exchange goals. This is not very surprising, considering that in five rounds they scored two goals each. However, in the final round, we think, the game may well be open, considering the tournament position.
Second bet - both teams to score with odds of 2.36
Bet on the first half
In all five matches involving the Belarus national team in the current Nations League, the exact score was 0:0 in the first half. We think that such a scenario is possible today, and it is unlikely that anyone will take an unjustified risk in the opening 45 minutes.
Prediction - draw in the first half with odds of 2.04
