Can the Bulgarians still score points in the qualifiers?
The last match day of the World Cup qualifiers is coming up and this duel is coming up, for which, of course, a Bulgaria vs. Georgia tip can also be given. However, with regard to next summer’s tournament, it is already clear before kick-off that neither team will be participating.
In qualifying group E, Spain has clearly secured first place and will face Turkey, which will make it to the playoffs, on the last matchday. Georgia and Bulgaria, on the other hand, are well behind, which means that for both sides, it is now just a matter of bidding a respectable farewell to this qualifying round.
For the Bulgaria vs. Georgia prediction, the visitors can be seen as the favorites. Although they have only managed to secure three points from five games, they are three points ahead of Bulgaria, who are still without any points. A defeat for the hosts would therefore mean that they would end the World Cup qualifiers without a single point.
Neither side has anything to lose, so we can expect an open and interesting game. However, Bulgaria will not be able to overtake Georgia due to their significantly worse goal difference.
Georgia won the first leg 3-0 at home. On Tuesday evening, however, the game will be played in Sofia, which makes the task more difficult for coach Willy Sagnol’s team.
An away win is definitely possible, but the focus may also be on goals. Too many goals should not be expected. Georgia scored six goals in five games, but three of them were against Bulgaria. The Bulgarians, on the other hand, scored only one goal in five games.
At Merkur Bets, you can bet on under 2.5 goals, for which the Bulgaria Georgia odds are 2.05. A goal from the hosts is rather unlikely. The expected goals value of the game is 2.64 goals.
Bulgaria – Georgia Head-to-head record
The 3-0 result from the first leg underlines the Bulgaria vs. Georgia betting odds, with the visitors clear favorites. Bulgaria has not won against Georgia in the last three matches between the two sides.
There have been a total of nine matches between these nations so far, with Bulgaria winning four of them to date. The most recent result was a 4-1 victory four years ago. In Georgia’s 3-0 win in September, Kvaratskhelia, Gagnidze, and Mikautadze were the goalscorers.
Bulgaria – Georgia Tip
The visitors can be expected to win this match. Although Georgia only has three points more than Bulgaria, these points came from their victory in September.
However, a goal fest is not to be expected on Tuesday, as this time the match will be played in Sofia. This will make the visitors’ task more difficult. Accordingly, fewer than three goals are likely.
Bulgaria has only scored one goal so far – in their 1-6 defeat to Turkey. At home against Georgia, their chances of scoring are better, but Bulgaria’s xG value is only 0.99. Therefore, it is also possible to bet that a maximum of one of the two teams will score.
A win for the hosts is trading at low odds. More interesting is the bet that Georgia will win the first half between Bulgaria and Georgia. Both teams will be able to play freely as there is no longer any risk.
