Bulgaria vs Spain Prediction & Expert Tips

Bulgaria vs Spain Match Preview

It has been years since Bulgaria have enjoyed back-to-back wins. They have a five-match winless run and will head into the World Cup qualifiers after this kind of form. This is expected to make a huge difference in their first match of the qualifiers as they will be facing one of the top football sides, Spain on Thursday.

The 3-2 defeat of the Spanish side by Portugal at the Nations League final brought an end to a 19-match unbeaten run. It was a sour win for the side not only because it was at the Nations League final but also because it ended a good crafted unbeaten run of 19 matches. Their match winning consistency is the best thing we can observe of that period as they win fifteen and draw only three out of that 19 unbeaten games. Luis de la Fuente has always been depending on the Spanish attack which has players who play for the top clubs in the world.

It has been a rare sight that they have not been able to find the back of the net in the last many years. Playing against a winless Bulgaria team with one of the top attacking line, makes Spain a strong favorite to begin the qualifiers on a winning note. The head-to-head against Bulgaria is another stat to take into perspective as Spain boast a 100% winless record with the last two ending as a victory.

Bulgaria vs Spain Prediction

A four-game winless run at home is what Bulgaria currently trails behind. Illien Illiev will be disappointed to witness the results after experimenting with different equations to secure a win. Failing to come away with a win even at home makes this the toughest test for them in recent years as they host Spain on Thursday. There is, however, something to recall from the recent performances of Bulgaria as they scored 8 goals in their last seven home games with an average of one each per match.

But its never sufficient to administer a test to the Spanish side, who lost only once in the last 10 away trips in the Nations League final. And we also understand the strength of the Spanish attack and for the statistics, they scored 10 times in the last four away trips against formidable European teams.

The Spanish frontline with Yamal as the star of the show, is going to keep the defense and the Bulgarian goal box on their toes all along. And Yamal is a prime candidate for the anytime scorer market since he either scored or provided assists in the previous six games consecutively. He scored 3 goals in the previous three games for Spain as well.

• Correct score: Spain 4-1
