England v Bulgaria Betting Tips [8 September 2019]
The match
Third in the recently concluded inaugural UEFA Nations League, England (W2) will look to extend their lead at the top of Group A standings in the European Championship Qualification (ECQ) when they host bottom-of-the-table Bulgaria (D2, L2) at Wembley. The Three Lions are in cracking form, putting in consecutive five-goal games – a 5-0 win over Czech Republic followed by a 5-1 win over Montenegro in the group phase. This extended their record in the ECQs to 20 games unbeaten (W17, D3) including winning the last 12 in a row. Incredibly, England have won nine of those 12 with a clean sheet and should be rearing up for one more. Bulgaria started their qualification with two 1-1 draws, against Montenegro and Kosovo. However, they followed that up with a 2-1 loss at Czech Republic and a 3-2 reverse at home against Kosovo. This meant, the Bulgarians have now lost five of their last eight in the ECQs (W1, D2, L5). Even away from home, Bulgaria are winless in four ECQs (D1, L3) failing to score in two of those.
Key Statistics
- In 12 of their last 13 ECQ home wins, England have managed a clean sheet.
- Bulgaria have never beaten England in ten matches (D4, L6).
- Bulgaria have won just one of their last 12 competitive away matches (W1, D3, L8).
The bet of our experts
England are in excellent form at home in the ECQs, winning their last seven and staying unbeaten since their 3-2 loss to Croatia in 2007. Six of their last seven wins have come with a clean sheet and indeed 12 of their last 13 home wins in the ECQs have come with a clean sheet. England could be in for another easy win, with Bulgaria struggling to get results on the road. They are winless in four (D1, L3) in the qualifiers and have lost eight of their last 12 in competitive away games (W1, D3, L8). Further, Bulgaria have never defeated England and that might not be changing after this fixture.
