Serbia vs Bulgaria Prediction | Euro 2024 Betting Tips
Serbia vs Bulgaria Recent Form
Serbia is currently in second place in Group G, only a point away from Hungary but with a match in hand. They need at least a point in this game to go, though, but it may prove to be harder than everyone hopes. Serbia started the qualifiers well but slowed down as they progressed.
They drew with Bulgaria away (1:1) and lost both matches versus Hungary (both by 2:1). Luckily, they won two out of three final matches, defeating both Lithuania and Montenegro by 3:1 apiece.
Bulgaria has so far had one of the worst qualifying cycles in their history. They were viewed as the third-strongest team in the group but currently don’t have a win. They have two points and are at the bottom of the table.
After playing to a draw against Serbia (1:1), they dropped two games in a row, virtually losing all chances of advancing to the Euro 2024 tournament proper. They first lost to Montenegro by 2:1, but the final nail in the coffin was their loss at home against Lithuania by 2:0.
Serbia vs Bulgaria Head to Head
Believe it or not, Serbia fixtures against Bulgaria involve only three matchups, with only one of them being an official one. They played two friendlies, in 2008 and 2010. Both ended with Serbia winning, with the first one going 6:1 in Serbia’s favour.
The last and only official matchup was played in June as part of the Euro 2024 qualifiers. Serbia might have been the better team on the field, but the home side was the one that had the result. They got to the lead after Kiril Despodov scored in the 47th minute of the game. However, Darko Lazovic saved his team from defeat with a stunner in the 96th minute of the game.
Serbia vs Bulgaria Betting Tips
Believe it or not, the two teams are tied when it comes to odds. Both Serbia and Bulgaria to win come at odds of 2.30, while a draw is set at 4.60. This is mainly due to Serbia fixtures and their latest form, including the rest of the first game between the two.
For that reason, you can also think about a different kind of Serbia vs Bulgaria prediction. For instance, it is highly possible for both teams to score. More so, Over 3 goals is a good prediction, given the firepower Serbia has been displaying most recently.
