England Prediction – Can England take lead at top?
Saturday’s hosts, England, possess a useful 100% winning record after their two opening matches in Group A and sit on top of this 5-nation group by virtue of a superior goal difference of +10 over 2nd placed Czech Republic who are level on 6 points with England heading into this weekend’s action.
England have been totally dominant in their two group matches to date as the Three Lions have recorded emphatic wins over Czech Republic 5-0 at Wembley and a resounding 5-1 win away at Montenegro, which has resulted in 10 goals scored and just 1 goal conceded.
The hosts have won their last 12 Euro qualifiers on the trot while on home turf at Wembley, England have won their last 7 on the trot, which includes no fewer than 6 clean sheets within this impressive but miserly sequence.
England have also won the last two encounters on the trot against Bulgaria, winning 3-0 away from home and a 4-0 romp on home soil, and we could see another 3-0 or 4-0 scoreline unfold at Wembley today.
Bulgaria Prediction – Can Bulgaria pull off shock at Wembley?
This looks extremely unlikely as Bulgaria bring a disappointing 7-match sequence without a win in all competitions into this Saturday evening’s clash against England, while also suffering recent back-to-back defeats in Group A to Czech Republic and surprise package, Kosovo, in 2-1 and 3-2 defeats respectively.
Bulgaria started their group campaign in reasonable fashion as they picked up points in draws with Montenegro 1-1 and Kosovo 1-1, but the wheels seem to have fallen off in spectacular fashion and the visitors look to be staring down the barrel at a third defeat on the trot in Group A at Wembley on Saturday.
Results away from home in Euro qualifiers are also nothing to write home about as Bulgaria have picked up just 2 wins out of their last 9 matches on their travels which were victories at Azerbaijan and Malta, the latter being a narrow 1-0 win over the minnows.
In addition, this 9-match away sequence has yielded just 1 clean sheet on the road for Bulgaria, so they look to have their work cut out to contain an up-beat England side in their own backyard here.
Key-Facts – England v Bulgaria
- England have won their last 7 Euro qualifiers on the trot at Wembley
- England have also kept 6 clean sheets during this 7-match sequence too
- Bulgaria have picked up just 2 wins out of their last 9 matches on their travels
Betting Tips Verdict
Anything other than an England win here would be a major shock, and the hosts should also keep a clean sheet too.
