Easy Three Points for the European Champions

Bulgaria’s results over the past few years have been poor. They have only picked up three wins since 2022, suffering a plethora of defeats along the way. Tricolours’ last triumph was a 1-0 UEFA Nations League victory away at Luxembourg in November.

Bulgaria were easily beaten by Greece in their last game in June. The Greeks ran riot on home turf, winning 4-0. It was Bulgaria’s biggest defeat since a 5-0 reverse in Northern Ireland last October.

Spain lost to Portugal in the 2025 Nations League final in June, but they are in red-hot form. La Roja are the European champions after winning UEFA Euro 2024, defeating England in the final. They are one of the best in the world right now.

Luis de la Fuente’s troops are already assured of a play-off spot due to their Nations League ranking, but the Spaniards are looking to reach next year’s World Cup as Group E winners. As expected, Spain are odds-on to qualify.

Bulgaria vs Spain Betting Odds

Spain are massive favourites to kick off their World Cup qualifying campaign with three points. The away win is priced at just 1.09.

This looks like a mismatch on paper, and the hosts are the huge underdogs at the Vasil Levski National Stadium. The home win is available at 20.00, and you can get 9.00 for the draw.

Bulgaria Win – 20.00

Draw – 9.00

Spain Win – 1.09

Recent Bulgaria vs Spain Head-to-Head Meetings

This will be the first meeting between the countries since they clashed in a friendly in Granada in 2002. Jose Mari’s tenth-minute goal was enough to give Spain a 1-0 home victory.

The last competitive meeting was at the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France. The Spaniards ran riot in the group meeting, with Luis Enrique and Fernando Morientes among the scorers in a 6-1 win.

Bulgaria vs Spain Betting Tips & Predictions

Despite this one taking place in Sofia, it should be a stroll in the park for the Euro 2024 winners. We can see the away side dominating from start to finish, so back Spain to win both halves at 1.85.

De la Fuente’s men will want to start their World Cup qualifying journey with a clean sheet on the road. Our money is going on the visitors to win to nil at 1.40.
