N Ireland Preview – Will Irish eyes be smiling?

Northern Ireland were handed a tough opening fixture in their World Cup qualifying Group C as they came up against the favourites to win the group, Italy, and the Irish duly lost 2-0 away from home in Parma, and their mood wasn’t helped by a following 2-1 defeat at home to United States in a friendly a few days later.

That’s now seven matches without a win for Northern Ireland who have lost six of these games but they return to home soil and Windsor Park for this important clash against Bulgaria who have lost both of their group matches so far.

On the World Cup front, Northern Ireland have lost four of their last five overall but at home, the Irish have won four of their last six matches which includes notable wins against Norway and Czech Republic so the hosts will fancy their chances of taking something from this encounter.

Our betting suggestion:
Both teams to score

Bulgaria Preview – Can Bulgaria avoid third loss on trot?

Bulgaria’s World Cup qualifying hopes are already hanging by a thread even at this early stage in proceedings having lost both of their opening matches in Group C to Switzerland 3-1 and Italy 2-0 respectively which has landed the visitors bottom of the group.

To make matters worse, both of these defeats were inflicted upon Bulgaria on home soil and although they take on Northern Ireland who are also sitting on zero points, this by no means makes this fixture any easier for the Bulgarians.

Indeed, Bulgaria have managed to win just one of their last 11 matches in all competitions while it’s just one win in their last 19 World Cup qualifiers away from home, so they could have their work cut out in Belfast.
