Bulgaria are struggling for some form, it is far to say.
It has been a D3 L1 record by them in this UEFA Nations League group.

The Bulgaria to win to nil betting option comes in at a quote of 11/20*
Given that their opponents are a very goal-shy team, that’s not an unreasonable pick, perhaps for an acca.
Bulgaria themselves are averaging just a goal per game in this group.
In their last fourteen internationals (competitive and friendly) Bulgaria have taken just two victories.
Those were both at home, however.
Gibraltar Preview – Can Gibraltar Hold Bulgaria Again?
Gibraltar will have been delighted with their home point against Bulgaria.
It’s the only point that they have on the board so far in the group.
They look destined to finish bottom of the pile as they are short on quality.
The goal that they scored in their draw with Bulgaria is their only one in the group.
Gibraltar have shipped 11 goals in their four matches.
Naturally, they are huge 22/1 underdogs in the match outright for Nations League betting.

A Bulgaria -2 handicap may just be worth reaching for at a quote of 10/11*

They aren’t too likely to trouble the Bulgarian defence either.
