Wales vs Bulgaria Predictions

• Wales kept four clean sheets in their last six home matches.
• Bulgaria failed to score in four of their last six fixtures.
• Wales won five of their last six fixtures on home turf.

Wales make promising start

Wales opened their 2020/21 Nations League account with 1-0 win at Finland on Thursday evening, and though the victory was ultimately a hard-fought one, there was plenty on show to enthuse manager Ryan Giggs.

The triumph, which provide Wales with their third win and third clean sheet on the spin, was marked by excellent performances from winger Dan James and Man Utd teammate and international debutant Dylan Levitt, while their backline, anchored by Ethan Ampadu never looked under threat.

Back at the Cardiff City Stadium for the first time since November last year, Wales will be confident that they can keep the good results coming against an ordinary looking Bulgaria outfit, and an extension of their seven-match unbeaten streak looks likely.

Bulgaria denied win at the death

Bulgaria meanwhile, were denied an opening round win in injury time in their Group 4 opener against the Republic of Ireland on Thursday, when Irish skipper Shane Duffy nodded home a 92^nd minute equalizer from a corner.

In truth however, Ireland were well worth a share of the spoils in Sofia, where the hosts continued to look low on cutting edge despite some promising approach play at times.

The Bulgarians have now scored one or fewer goals in seven of their last eight, while a run of just one win from their last 15 international assignments is one of the worst sequences of results in the country’s recent history.

Wales to make it two wins from two

Bulgaria showed little against Ireland to suggest that they will offer Wales much resistance in Cardiff on Sunday, and Ryan Giggs’ Dragons, who emerged as victors from five of their last six home matches look worth backing to win again.

Wales kept four clean sheets in those six successful assignments on home turf, and having secured a shutout in Finland in mid-week, they should be able to keep a non-threatening Bulgaria frontline unwraps on Sunday.

The Bulgarians failed to register in two of their last three away tests, and against a defensively robust Wales team, they should struggle in the final third again. With that considered the Wales win to nil market looks excellent value at the prices quoted, while our correct score prediction points towards a 1-0 home victory.

Wales scored exactly one goal in four of their last six home outings, adding to the single goal victory they recorded in Helsinki on Thursday. Bulgaria meanwhile, shipped exactly one goal in three of their last four, making a 1-0 Wales final scoreline a likely outcome.
