Bulgaria vs Hungary prediction 16.11.2023

• Competition: EURO Qualifications
• Date: Thursday, 16th November 2023
• Kickoff: 17:00 UTC / 18:00 CET
• Venue: Stadion Hristo Botev (Plovdiv)

The golden era of Bulgarian football is a thing of the past. Currently, they are more akin to Europe’s weakest teams than the strongest. In the EURO 2024 qualifications, Bulgaria gained a mere two points in six rounds and are likely to end up at the bottom of their group. They have experienced a losing streak in their last four games, friendlies included. In their most recent match, Bulgaria was defeated 2-0 in an away game against Albania. With Albania controlling 65% of ball possession and having superior scoring opportunities, it’s unsurprising that Bulgaria faced another loss.

Hungary leads the group, just one point shy from securing EURO 2024, having garnered 14 points from six matches. They have maintained a ten-game streak without a loss, including friendly matches. In their most recent match, they managed to draw 2-2 against Lithuania, despite being two goals down at halftime. The team, led by Marco Rossi, displayed a superior performance in the second half, preventing a loss. Their previous poor match should not overshadow Hungary’s capabilities, as evidenced by their two impressive victories over Serbia in the rounds preceding the last one.

Bulgaria vs Hungary pick: Hungary to win and cover AH -1 spread

The last head-to-head match between Bulgaria and Hungary took place in March where Hungary emerged victorious with a score of 3-0. When these two teams face each other again on Thursday in Plovdiv, we can anticipate a similar game. Therefore, betting on Hungary to win and cover the Asian Handicap -1 spread should be the top wager for this match.
