Slovakia Bulgaria betting prediction

The away team plays its first friendly match of the year, after having played 2 friendlies last year, with the following final scores: Bulgaria (3‑0) Gibraltar and Bulgaria (0‑1) Belarus. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 1 win, 6 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 9 goals scored and 22 conceded; against 3 wins, 3 draws and 9 losses at their stadium, with 14 goals scored and 26 conceded. In their last match, for the WC Qualification Europe, they got an away tie against Northern Ireland by (0‑0). In the last 8 away matches Bulgaria has tied 3 and lost 5. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 4 of the last 8 matches have ended with Under 1,5 goals and 5 out of 8 have ended with Under 2,5 goals. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 3 of the last 15 matches, they have reached half‑time in front in 1 of those 3 matches and have held on to the lead in 2. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 10 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Bulgaria enter this match after a 0-0 draw away from home in Northern Ireland. Thus, the Bulgarian team seems to be going through a less good moment with two draws, three defeats and a victory in the last six games played. The Bulgarian team usually plays in a usual 5-3-2, favoring fast transitions. For that, he can count on the finishing ability of the experienced Andrey Galabinov. It should be noted that the Bulgarian national team is a group that has some weaknesses.
