Wales Preview – Dragons to make it two wins from two?
Ryan Giggs’ Wales kicked off their 2020-21 Nations League campaign with a hard-fought 1-0 away win against Finland last Thursday. It was far from a classic at the Olympic Stadium Helsinki, but the Dragons just about did enough to get the points. New Cardiff City striker Kieffer Moore scored the only goal of the game in the Finnish capital.
The Welsh head into Monday’s match in Cardiff in superb form. Since crashing to back-to-back defeats to Croatia and Hungary in June last year, Wales have won five and drawn two of seven. They have now won three in a row for the first time under Giggs.
With Bulgaria and Ireland drawing in their opening game, Wales are now the strong favourites to win League B, Group 4. The Dragons are usually solid at the Cardiff City Stadium and should roar to another home victory at the weekend.
Bulgaria Preview – Bulgarians to struggle in Cardiff?
Bulgaria looked to be heading for an invaluable three points on matchday one of the Nations League last Thursday. Bozhidar Kraev’s goal after 56 minutes put Georgi Dermendzhiev’s men a goal up at the Vasil Levski National Stadium in Sofia. However, the Republic rescued a point thanks to Shane Duffy’s 93rd-minute effort.
Bulgaria have been in dreadful form over the past few seasons. In fact, they have picked up just one win across all competitions since October 2018. However, in November last year, the Bulgarians ended their UEFA Euro 2021 qualifying campaign with a surprise 1-0 win over Czech Republic.
