Command Analysis

Northern Ireland

N. Ireland

Current form

The Northern Ireland team was considered one of the main contenders for victory in the group before the start of the group stage, but so far it occupies only the third line in the group. However, Michael O'Neill team is only one point behind Bulgaria and Belarus and could well break into the first line today. There was a chance to improve the situation in the last round, but Belarus defended a goalless draw.

Disqualifications and injuries

The hosts have no problems with the squad.

Interesting trends for betting

Northern Ireland have won their last three home games
Northern Ireland have not beaten Bulgaria in their last six matches – five defeats and a draw

Tentative lineup : Charles - Hume, McNair, Toal - Bradley, Price, Charles, Saville, Lewis - Reid, Marshall.

Bulgaria

Current form

The Bulgarian national team was frankly unimpressive in the last World Cup and Euro qualifiers, but Ilian Iliev team improved in the Nations League and has not lost a single match yet. With five points, the Bulgarians are currently in second place in the table and are behind the leader Belarus only by additional indicators. A goalless draw against Luxembourg in the last round extended Bulgaria unbeaten streak in all tournaments to nine matches.

Disqualifications and injuries

The visitors have no problems with their lineup.

Interesting trends for betting

Bulgaria have not lost in their last nine matches – two wins and seven draws
Bulgaria have not conceded in their last three matches

Approximate composition : Mitov - Popov, Petkov, Atanasov, Nuremberger - Kirilov, Kostadinov, Gruev - Despodov, Kolev, Krastev.

Tip and bets

1.95Northern Ireland victory

The Northern Ireland team failed to beat Belarus on a neutral field in the last round and missed the opportunity to take the top spot. However, today the "green-white" army is unlikely to miss their chance - on their home field, Northern Ireland is traditionally very strong and often beats even top European teams, to which Bulgaria, with all its merits, can hardly be attributed today.

We think that the visitors have no chance. The forecast is a victory for Northern Ireland . This bet is offered with a coefficient of 1.95

Bet on total

Northern Ireland will undoubtedly play only to win at home, but it is unlikely that you should expect adventurous football from the hosts from the first minutes - they will probably increase the tempo and pressure gradually, not forgetting about defense. Bulgaria also does not play attacking football and concedes very few goals, in such a match it is unlikely that you should count on a goal extravaganza, the outcome of the match can be decided by one goal.

Bet - total under two goals. This bet is offered for 1.85

Bet on corners

Northern Ireland will probably play first at home and will win on corners without any problems.

Bet - Asian handicap (-2) on corners for Northern Ireland. This bet is offered for 1.89
