Ireland will be aiming to make amends for a 1-0 loss to Wales when they take on Bulgaria at Aviva Stadium on Wednesday evening.
The Boys in Green have been struggling in this edition of the UEFA Nations League, with the team collecting no more than two points in the process. However, it seems as if Ireland will not have a better chance than this to return to winning ways as they play host the rock-bottom side.
From their prior sextet of matches leading up to this one, in 6 of them a wager on "Both Teams to Score" would have been a loser. Ireland boss Stephen Kenny does not have any fitness worries to speak of coming into this clash owing to a fully injury-free group to pick from. Jeff Hendrick is suspended for the hosts after he was sent off in the defeat to Wales.
Bulgaria suffered a 2-1 defeat to Finland at the weekend, with the team extending their losing run in Group 4 to four games. Considering that the Bulgarians are low on confidence ahead of the trip to Dublin, we are tempted to put our money on Stephen Kenny’s troops. Bulgaria suffered a 2-1 defeat to Finland at the weekend, with the team extending their losing run in Group 4 to four games.
Considering that the Bulgarians are low on confidence ahead of the trip to Dublin, we are tempted to put our money on Stephen Kenny’s troops. But the stats don’t lie, and Bulgaria have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, letting opponents get 9 goals overall. Defensively, The Lions just haven’t been too solid at all. That aside, it remains to be seen if such a trend might be replicated here in this game.

This relegation battle - still something of a novelty at the international level - is likely to be decided by a goal from a set-piece or a scrambled finish, given the paucity of both sides' forward play recently. Ireland's grit - clearly apparent in the unfortunate weekend defeat to Wales - and greater individual quality should prove just enough to send Bulgaria down and save Stephen Kenny's side from further humiliation.
So our final Ireland vs Bulgaria Prediction is Ireland to win.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
