Northern Ireland vs Bulgaria Prediction & Betting Tips (15 October)

Bulgaria have found the going extremely tough on their top-flight travels of late, with their previous four fixtures seeing them concede ten goals on the way to securing zero points. Northern Ireland, by way of contrast, have registered 10 wins in their most recent 14 home games at this elite level of domestic competition, not to mention keeping six clean sheets on the spin.

Northern Ireland have played 16 home games during the current UEFA Nations League campaign, with no fewer than 11 of these encounters serving up under 2.5 goals. Not only that, but ten of the last 12 Bulgaria away matches at this level have also produced no more than a couple of goals, meaning that more of the same is expected when the sides go head-to-head at the Northern Ireland Stadium.

It would be fair to say that Northern Ireland have not been the most exciting team to watch recently, with only three of their last 12 UEFA Nations League matches producing goals at both ends. Given that ten of the previous 12 Bulgaria away games at this level have also seen at least one of the two keepers emerging with a clean sheet, do not expect both teams to find the net.
