Bulgaria – N. Macedonia, Prediction – Cup of Champions

– Macedonia has 3 clean sheets in its last 4 away games

⏩ For Bulgaria this match is extremely important

The problems in the Bulgarian national team have no end. After it came to relegation from the League of Nations, this shows the level of Bulgarian football. Bulgaria has played some rather weak matches recently, recording 3 consecutive losses as a guest from Switzerland, Qatar and Croatia (the last 2 matches were friendly), but is at home with 3 consecutive victories against Lithuania, Georgia, which are part of the group now, and S. Ireland.

⏩ Certainly S. Macedonia is the favorite in the group

The Macedonians dreamed after beating Italy 0-1 and had the opportunity to face Portugal, but there was no forgiveness. However, this success is not accidental. Let’s not forget that last year the Macedonians also beat Germany as a guest, so this team is progressing more and more. I think they are the favorite in the group, but not in this match, as they are away.

⚽ I expect a very cautious match

This match should be equal, as the odds show. In such matches, especially considering the political situation between the two countries, they are quite tense and usually boring, and Bulgaria is not particularly strong in attack. It will be quite difficult for them to score against this defense of Macedonia. I expect 0-0 or 1-1 with Under 2.5 goals in the match, but my main prediction is for Draw at 3.00.
