Bulgaria vs Spain Predictions

• Spain have seen BTTS land in 12 of their last 15 games
• The Spanish have conceded in 17 of their last 24 internationals
• Bulgaria have scored in five of their last six at home and four of their previous five overall

Defensive concerns for European champions

While they lost the Nations League final on penalties, Spain remain unbeaten in competitive action since their 2-0 loss at Scotland in qualifying for Euro 2024.

Spain won all seven games at the Euros and they followed it up with five wins from six in the Nations League to close out 2024. However, their defensive issues have been clear throughout, as they have seen both teams score in 12 of their last 15 matches.

In their previous 24 internationals, Spain have managed only seven clean sheets. That leaves them vulnerable for this visit to Bulgaria, especially as both teams have scored in four of the hosts’ last five matches.

The hosts have scored in five of their last six home games, so back them to breach this Spanish defence. However, Spain have won 21 of their previous 27 internationals, falling short only against Colombia, Brazil, Serbia, the Netherlands, and Portugal.

Spain should continue a fine qualifying record with a win, but back Bulgaria to get a consolation goal.
