The prediction for the match between Northern Ireland and Bulgaria: Northern Ireland has good home records and has a chance to win, especially after victories against Denmark and Luxembourg. Bulgaria is also in good form, but away matches can be challenging for them. The match is likely to be tense, but the hosts have the advantage. I predict that Northern Ireland will win 1-0 or 2-1.
Bulgaria is showing improvement in their game, having not lost for nine matches and currently occupying second place in the group. Northern Ireland is struggling in attack and has been solid defensively, going six matches without defeat. Bulgaria can take advantage of these factors and win this match. Therefore, a bet on Bulgaria to win would be justified.
In the match between Northern Ireland and Bulgaria, a low number of goals is expected. Both teams have shown weak scoring performance and play cautiously in defense. The game may end with a minimal number of goals, as both teams struggle to find the back of the net. A closed game is expected with a very low probability of scoring more than one goal.
