Georgia v Bulgaria Tips

Short odds on a home win, but the hosts will be glad to return home again after losing 3-2 here to a very good Turkey side in their opening World Cup qualifier. This should be an easier game today, and I expect a home win.

Nice odds here for a draw with both sides losing their opening qualifiers games, so all to play for today. The last meeting here finished 0-0, and there was also another 0-0 meeting here a few years ago. I think this will be a very tight game today with neither side wanting to lose.

Bulgaria has a historical edge over Georgia, winning 4 of their last 8 meetings and drawing 2. Despite a 3-0 loss to Spain in their opener, Bulgaria showed defensive discipline in the second half. Georgia, meanwhile, conceded 3 goals in just 52 minutes against Turkey. With Bulgaria’s midfield anchored by Ilian Iliev Jr., who completed 87% of his passes last match, they have the structure to control possession and edge out a narrow win in Tbilisi.

I will take a chance on goals here today despite both sides starting their qualification games poorly. For that reason, I think both sides will go looking to win today.

In this game, all points to only one team contributing to the final score. Bulgaria is recently having many problems scoring goals.

I will go with both sides not scoring here today as both sides started with defeats in their qualifiers and everything to play for both sides. The last meeting here finished 0-0, and I am not expecting goals today.

I will also take a chance on BTTS today despite the odds and current form suggesting a low-scoring match. But neither side has started well, and both could do with a win.

Georgia will win to nil because they’re strong at home, with recent big wins over Armenia and the Faroe Islands. Bulgaria’s defense leaks goals, their attack struggles, and Georgia’s discipline plus head-to-head momentum favors a clean sheet.

I will also add this selection as I have gone for the hosts being too strong today. But I've also taken a chance on both sides scoring.

Bulgaria recorded five draws in the last nine games on the road. Georgia holds a two-match winless streak at home but has great attackers.

I will also throw this selection into the mix today as both sides lost their first qualifiers. So we should see a hard-fought match today, and the last meeting ended 0-0.
