Prediction: 0-1. The Bulgarians failed to impress in the Euro 2020 qualifiers, with the team finishing the process in fourth position in the standings. Georgi Dermendzhiev’s troops are eager to get back on course, but the Nations League game against Ireland will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts.
The Boys in Green will be without Glenn Whelan, Michael Obafemi, Sean Maguire, and Scott Hogan in Thursday’s clash, but the likes of Shane Long and James McCarthy return to the squad. Anyhow, Ireland are more of a team than Bulgaria, and they should take advantage of the fact that the game will be played behind closed doors. Both Jayson Molumby and Adam Idah are eyeing their senior international debuts with Republic of Ireland.
