Bulgaria vs Ireland: betting tip for the Nations League match
Bulgaria will face Ireland in Sofia on March 20 as part of the first final transition match. The home team is playing a good game and is not averse to advancing to the B league, but it will not be easy to do this in the match with the Irish, since the guests are not going to leave the B league. Will the Bulgarians be able to defeat their opponent and what bets will they play in the match? The answer is in our betting tip

Command Analysis

Bulgaria

Current form
Bulgaria has suffered only one defeat in six games in the framework of the League of Nations. The team in the third group of the C league scored nine points, which consisted of two wins and three draws, which allowed them to take second place in the standings. The national team was able to beat Luxembourg and Northern Ireland with the same score 1:0. The wards of Ilian Iliev have problems both in defense and in attacking actions. In six rounds, the squad managed to score only three goals, and conceded three times as many goals. Such results do not promise the hosts the best chances of winning, even on their own field. In their last match, the team tied the world series with Belarus (1-1), conceding a return goal in the middle of the second half.
Disqualifications and injuries
There are no injured or disqualified players in the team.
Interesting betting trends
- Bulgaria did not lose to the opponent in the last two face-to-face games.
- On average, the national team concedes 1.5 goals per game.
Approximate composition: Mitov, Popov, Petkov, Petrov, Nuremberg, Krayev, Milanov, Panayotov, Kirilov, Petkov, Kolev.

Ireland

Current form
Ireland competed in the B League in the framework of the League of Nations with such national teams as England, Greece and Finland. After six games, the team managed to get only two wins over the Finns (1-0 and 2-1), which allowed them to score six points and place themselves on the third line in the standings. This position gave the national team the opportunity to fight for the right to stay in their league. It is worth noting that the team scored only three goals and is also experiencing difficulties defensively – 12 goals were conceded. Such results from Heimir Hadlgrimsson's players clearly do not give the best chances, not only to win, but even to draw, especially on someone else's field against an opponent who is not inferior to them in class. In their last match, the squad suffered a crushing defeat against England (0:5).
Disqualifications and injuries
There are no injured or disqualified persons.
Interesting betting trends

1.75Tip and bets
The home team is not showing very confident results, but today it intends to rehabilitate itself in front of its fans and coaching staff. Bulgaria has a slight advantage – the team has not lost in the last two games and has a more balanced squad. We can assume that these factors will become an additional incentive, and the wards of Ilian Iliev will win.
The betting tip is for Bulgaria to win with a coefficient of 3.50
Bet on the total
In our opinion, this meeting will take place with a small number of scoring chances. The hosts, like the air, need a victory, and we suggest betting on the total less, which took place in four of Bulgaria's six games in the League of Nations.
The betting tip is a total of less than 1.5 goals with a coefficient of 2.50
Betting on team goals
Bulgaria has not looked much more convincing than its opponent lately, but in the last five out of six games in the tournament it did not exchange balls with its opponents, which we expect today.
The betting tip is that both will not score with a coefficient of 1.65
