England's UEFA Nations League commitments meant they have only played two games in this Euro 2020 qualifying group. They are still top though having won both of their games so far. England kicked off with a convincing 5-0 home win over the Czech Republic. That was followed by a 5-1 win in Montenegro despite going a goal down in the first half. Six points from two games and they find themselves top ahead of the Czech Republic with a game in hand and a point clear of Kosovo in third with a game in hand. For once, England don't have any major injury problems and they last lost a European Championships qualifier 12 years ago. 

Bulgaria's chances of qualifying for Euro 2020 are already looking in deep trouble. Four games have played in this group with just two draws, another loss here will further reduce their qualification hopes. They had to come from behind in their group opener to get a home point against Montenegro. Another draw followed in Kosovo, despite taking a first-half lead. June was a disaster for them but it started well. Bulgaria took a third minute lead in the Czech Republic but ended up losing 2-1. A few days after that, they again blew a lead as they lost 3-2 to Kosovo with the winning goal coming in the 93rd minute. That's seven games without a win for the Bulgarians and just one win in their last 12 away games. This looks booked for another England win, go for them to win and be ahead at both half and full time.
