Bulgaria vs Spain Preview and Team News
Bulgaria Team News
Bulgaria don’t have any major injury concerns in their squad and should, therefore, be able to select their best possible starting XI.
The hosts have lost three of their last five matches, which doesn’t bode well for them ahead of their big fixture against Spain. In their last outing, a 0-4 loss to Greece, the Lions were taken to the cleaners by their opponents, especially inside their own half.
The Greek attackers tormented the Bulgarian defenders by virtue of being quick on the break and also by making a lot of space on the wings. This gave them an extra yard of speed and also allowed them to take easy shots on target. Bulgaria’s 4-2-3-1 formation was easily torn asunder by the Greeks, largely due to the former’s poor communication skills at the back.
Bulgaria predicted lineup vs Spain (4-2-3-1): Mitov; Nedyalkov, H. Petrov, S. Petrov, Minkov; Gruev, Kraev; Nurnberger, L. Petkov, M. Petkov; Nikolov.
Spain Team News
For defending European champions Spain, there could hardly be an easier fixture than this one against Bulgaria on the road to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Ranked second by FIFA, the visitors face a side sitting 84th. This gap signifies the big chasm between the two squads in both quality and current form.
The Spaniards have a few injured players to tend to ahead of this clash: Alex Baena, Isco, and Samuel Aghehowa.

However, the team have gone unbeaten in their last five outings and should be confident enough of adding another positive result to their tally. La Roja have been brilliant in the final third, as evidenced by their 15 goals across the last five matches, averaging three per game.
In defense, however, there is room for improvement for Luis de la Fuente’s men, as they’ve conceded 13 goals in the same number of games. What will bug de la Fuente more than anything else ahead of this meeting is the fact that his wards haven’t kept a clean sheet in six encounters.
Spain predicted lineup vs Bulgaria (4-3-3): Simon; Cucurella, Huijsen, Le Normand, Mingueza; Ruiz, Pedri, Zubimendi; Williams, Oyarzabal, Yamal.
Bulgaria vs Spain Prediction
- Pick: Spain to win
- Odds: -1000 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Bulgaria 0-3 Spain
The Spaniards are heavy favorites to win this game, and we expect them to cruise to a comfortable result. The quality in their ranks is much superior to that of the Lions, and the gulf between them should be clear as day and night to the spectators. For Spain’s attacking unit, dismantling the Bulgarian back line shouldn’t be a challenging task at all.
The likes of Lamine Yamal, Oyarzabal, and Williams will be licking their lips in anticipation of such a challenge. The hosts simply don’t have enough experience or expertise to prevent a massacre from taking place.
Bulgaria vs Spain Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Spain to score the first goal
- Odds: -769 (20Bet)
We expect Spain to score the first goal, given the depth in their attacking ranks. Yamal himself can be quite a dangerous option on the wings and one the Bulgarians will struggle to contain. As for the rest of the Spanish attack, a lot shall be expected from the flanks and not necessarily by way of lobbed balls and crosses.
There can be a lot of high-octane passing and skill-play, which involves taking defenders on in one-on-one situations. At any rate, the Spaniards have much more quality in their team and should be able to break the deadlock and take control early.
