Bulgaria vs Serbia Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 20th June 2023

We are now in the fourth round of the European Championship group stage qualification. Up next here is a game between Bulgaria and Serbia on Tuesday, to be held at Huvepharma Arena. Serbia beat Bulgaria twice in their most recent meetings, as they claimed wins by 1-0 and 6-1, respectively.

After the third round of matches in this group G Bulgaria are number five on one point, while Serbia have six points as number one. Bulgaria arrive at this match placed as number 76 in the FIFA world ranking, while Serbia lack behind as number 25 in the world.

As rather big outsiders in this group, it would be considered a rather big upset if Bulgaria were to survive beyond the qualifying group stage. Serbia seem to have a decent chance of finishing first in their group, since it appears to be a competition between two teams for the top spot. At the least, they should be able to secure the runner-up position without too much hassle.

Bulgaria vs Serbia Prediction

Bulgaria Form

Bulgaria only added a single point to their account in their last three games, where they lost 0-1 and 3-0 against Montenegro and Hungary respectively. At least they managed a 1-1 draw with Lithuania. Bulgaria only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent internationals. Of the remaining four matches, they drew two and lost two, as they scored four and conceded five goals.

Serbia Form

Serbia look fabulous with three wins on the trot, starting off against USA, who were defeated by 1-2. Then, Lithuania got outclassed in a 2-0 win, before beating Montenegro by 0-2. Serbia recorded a very decent outcome of four wins from six internationals, in which they banged in 14 goals, whilst conceding seven. They also drew one and lost one.

We don't expect Bulgaria to pull off a surprise, and with goals flowing freely, they could be in for a hammering against strong looking Serbia.
