Bulgaria vs Northern Ireland Prediction: 8/9/2024

Bulgaria’s recent home performance has been far from impressive, with seven losses in their last ten top-tier matches, during which they have conceded a staggering 19 goals. In contrast, Northern Ireland has been performing admirably, achieving four wins in their last nine away games in a highly competitive league.

In 12 of Northern Ireland’s last 17 UEFA Nations League matches, there have been under 2.5 goals scored, indicating a trend of low-scoring encounters. Similarly, nine of Bulgaria’s previous 15 games at this level have also seen no more than two goals.

When Northern Ireland plays away in the UEFA Nations League, it’s usually a tight affair, with one team failing to score in 14 of their last 19 matches. Bulgaria has experienced similar patterns at home, with both teams scoring in just two of their last nine matches at this level. This suggests a low-scoring match is likely.

 

Prediction

Northern Ireland has been successful on the road, winning five of their last eight away games towards the end of the previous season. On the other hand, Bulgaria has struggled at home, losing four of their last seven top-tier matches. Given these trends, a draw seems a likely outcome.

Prediction: Bulgaria 0 : 0 Northern Ireland.
