Our Predictions

Turkey to win.
1.11

Turkey are clear favorites with odds of 1.11 and strong current form, compared to Bulgaria’s 4 straight losses and poor away record.

Both Teams to Score – No.
1.50

Bulgaria have scored just once in four games and Turkey kept clean sheets in 2 of their last 4. BTS 'No' is priced at 1.50, indicating low expectations for a Bulgarian goal.

Over 2.5 goals.
1.44

These teams produced 7 goals in their last meeting (6-1), and Turkey's attack is in top shape. Over 2.5 goals at 1.44 looks solid for an open game.
