Russia vs Bulgaria Prediction & Betting Tips - International Friendlies
by Nella Wagah | in Football Predictions
Russia are set for their second warm up game, at home to Bulgaria, in their preparations for the Euro 2020 Championship. In the first, they drew 1-1 with Poland, coming from behind through Vyacheslav Karavaev after Jakub Swierczok had scored an early opener for the Poles. That was Russia’s second winless outing after losing 2-1 to Slovakia earlier. With just two wins in the last 10 matches, and no clean sheet in the last six, Russia have a lot to do heading to the Euros. They are in one of the tough groups at the tournament, having to face top ranked Belgium, then Finland and Denmark. Coach Vladimir Panikov can however point to some improvement in his team; while they have no clean sheet in the last six, there has been good defensive discipline, and they haven’t conceded more than one goal since the 5-0 mauling by Serbia. Four of their last five matches have produced over 2.5 goals and they will be banking on home form, which has seen them lose just twice in 13 home games.
Bulgaria will not be as tough opponents for Russia as Poland. They go to this game winless in their last six matches, though the last two ended in draws. Bulgaria head here with one win in 13 matches, and eight losses in that run leaves them as underdogs here. They’ve failed to score in three of their last five and when they’ve managed to, it wasn’t more than a goal. It is worse away from home; whereas Bulgaria have straight draws in the last three away games, they have no win in 12 straight matches on the road. Their only away win in 15, came in 2018 as they beat Slovenia 2-1. They’ve scored just once in the last five away matches, though they have two clean sheets in the last three.

Our Russia vs Bulgaria Prediction
Bulgaria have a very poor away run. Though Russia haven’t been at their best, they should have an edge here. For Russia, this will be a much easier opponent to handle than Poland, and they need a boost going to their first group stage game. With the two sides’ runs, back Russia for a win.
