Rep. Of Ireland vs Bulgaria Prediction (23.03.2025)

Ireland was not deterred by the early conceded goal in the first match. They then took advantage of Bulgaria's mistakes and won as guests with 2:1 for the first time. This gives them three wins in their last five matches, which doesn't look bad, considering Ireland's quite unsatisfactory results lately. It seems like there has been an improvement and they may ultimately secure their place in League B of the Nations League.

Bulgaria made unacceptable mistakes in the first match, ultimately leading to their defeat. This was a new disappointment for the team, which had shown some stabilization recently and had only two losses in their last 13 matches. They won 1:0 against Luxembourg in their last visit, but before that, they had 12 consecutive unsuccessful away games, falling 0:5 to Northern Ireland as guests. Therefore, it will be very difficult for the "lions" to achieve success away this time, especially with such a performance as the match in Plovdiv this Thursday.

Bulgaria did not impress at all in the first match, and the defensive mistakes were unacceptable. At the same time, Ireland seems to have shown some improvement in their recent matches, and considering Bulgaria's performances, a new Irish victory here seems possible.

Bulgaria suffered a loss days ago against Ireland in the first playoff for Group B of the Nations League. Now comes the rematch, this time in Dublin.

The Irish are unlikely to let things get out of control

The Bulgarian national team has a bad tendency to be absolutely toothless in most cases, as was the case against Northern Ireland in the 0:5 loss. Now, however, I assume that the performance will be more organized, but I don't know if that will be enough. The Irish remain the stronger team, albeit by a small margin. At home, we can expect a dignified loss for our national team. It seems to me that the people of Ilia Iliev will start a little more conservatively, which may also mean fewer goals in the match.

Bet on under 2.5 goals and an Ireland win with a clean sheet

Something like 1:0/2:0 sounds reasonable.
