Bulgaria – North Macedonia : Preview & Prediction
For the 1st day of League C of the Nations League, Bulgaria receives Northern Macedonia. For the local team there will be no World Cup in Qatar with a group phase not mastered. The Bulgarian players remain a series of 3 consecutive defeats against Switzerland (4-0), Qatar (2-1) and Croatia (2-1). This last meeting will have been both complicated against an unknown team of Qatar but also encouraging with a short defeat against the vice-champions of the world.
As for North Macedonia, this month of March has been a dream come true for this team. Indeed, after having finished in the second place of the qualifications for the next World Cup, the players of Macedonia had the opportunity to play the playoffs. After having eliminated Italy after a crazy game and a victory (0-1) at the very end of the match, they were unable to confirm against Portugal (2-0) and leave the World Cup by the big door.
The last meeting was in 2016 and Bulgaria won (0-2).
Northern Macedonia has won 3 of their last 4 games.
6 of Bulgaria’s last 7 games have seen both teams score.
Bulgaria is on a 3 game winning streak at home.
These two teams are contenders for a place in League B at the end of this group stage. Therefore, we should see a very competitive match for this first leg. These two teams have not met for 6 years but the recent results promise a great match. Bulgaria, despite 3 consecutive defeats, has shown a nice face, especially against Croatia. On the other side, Northern Macedonia, which has knocked out Italy for the next World Cup, should also show a very nice face. That’s why we leave on the two teams score.
