Another landslide victory for the Turks?

On Saturday, the penultimate matchday of World Cup Qualifying Group E will be played. A glance at the table shows that first place is basically already secured by Spain. Behind them, a Turkey vs. Bulgaria tip can be made for this weekend, for which there is a clear trend.

The Bulgarians have long since lost any chance of qualifying for the World Cup, as they are clearly in last place with zero points after four games. Turkey has nine points, but is behind Spain, which has won all of its games so far without conceding a goal.

Since it is unlikely that Spain will lose in Georgia, Turkey will finish in second place. However, they can secure that position with a home win this Saturday, which would see them advance to the playoffs.

Unsurprisingly, there is a clear favorite for this game, as evidenced by the Turkey vs. Bulgaria odds. This is not least due to home advantage, as the game will be played in Istanbul this time.

A Turkish victory is likely, and considering the result of the first leg, they could also make up some goals. Therefore, the tip is for a Turkish victory with a handicap of three goals. This tip can be placed at Oddset at odds of 2.75.

It could also be interesting to bet on Kerem Aktürkoğlu as a goalscorer. The Fenerbahce Istanbul striker has scored twice in qualifying, but has also scored a few goals for his club in the recent past. He has also scored three times in three appearances in the Europa League.

Turkey – Bulgaria Head-to-head record

For a game in which many goals are likely to be scored, a betting bonus can of course be used to further boost the Turkey vs. Bulgaria betting odds. In a direct comparison, at least the recent past speaks in favor of Turkey and many goals.

In fact, Bulgaria still leads in the overall record, but Turkey has won the last three matches since 2012. In 2015, there was a 4-0 win and in October, a 6-1 away win in Bulgaria.

Turkey – Bulgaria Tip

Turkey must be seen as the favorites this weekend, so much so that a handicap bet can be placed. The result of the first leg has already shown that three goals can be made up, especially since Turkey will be playing at home in Istanbul.

A handicap of 3 goals offers interesting odds. Those who want to take less risk can also play with a handicap of -2. Overall, however, more than 3 goals are likely to be scored, especially if the visitors manage to score.

Various players are likely to score in this game. Kenan Yildiz is the only Turkish player to have scored three goals in qualifying so far. But Kerem Aktürkoğlu has scored several goals for his club, especially in recent times.

Anything other than a Turkish victory on Saturday would be a surprise. For Bulgaria, there is nothing at stake at this point, apart from third place. Turkey, on the other hand, will face Spain on the last matchday.
