Qualifying for the 2020 European Championship is a little different to previous occasions. The top two teams automatically progress to the finals but there are no playoffs for other teams in the group stages. Instead, those teams who won the Nations League groups will be handed the opportunity to participate in the competition.
Two teams which could benefit from the new system can be found in 2020 European Championship qualifying Group A and one of them is England. The English reached the Nations League finals only to go out in the semi-final but they have a playoff place in the bag should anything go wrong in this qualifying group.
On Saturday 7th September England host Bulgaria at Wembley but which team will come out on top? Read on for our England vs Bulgaria predictions and England vs Bulgaria betting odds.
When the draw was made for Euro 2020 qualifying, England were one of the favourites to win the whole tournament, never mind qualify from Group A. The Three Lions could not have asked for a much easier draw and they top the group despite having played two games fewer than Bulgaria.
England started their campaign with a convincing 5-0 home win against Czech Republic. Raheem Sterling opened the scoring after 24 minutes and there was no looking back. The Manchester City forward went on to complete his hattrick and Harry Kane also got on the scoresheet.
Gareth Southgate’s men then travelled to Montenegro and went 1-0 down after 18 minutes. Harry Kane got England level before half-time and they produced a very good second half performance to blow the hosts away, scoring 4 unanswered goals to see them win the match 5-1.
So, despite having only played two games in the group, England are sitting top on 6 points with a plus 9 goal difference and they are going to be difficult to catch. If the England vs Bulgaria betting odds are anything to go by, this game is going to be a stroll in the park and you can back England to win at just 1.16 with Unibet.
2. England vs Bulgaria Preview
Bulgaria managed to finish second in their Nations League group, 2 points behind Norway but that means they do not have a playoff place to fall back on if they fail to qualify from this group. Unfortunately, it appears as though Bulgaria are going to struggle to get into the top two places and you will not find many England vs Bulgaria betting tips backing them to win this match against England.
Bulgaria started their 2020 European Championship qualifying campaign with a 1-1 draw at home against Montenegro. Bulgaria needed a late equaliser to get a point having fallen 1-0 behind after 50 minutes. Their second game saw them travel to Kosovo and despite taking the lead in that one, Bulgaria allowed their opponents back into the match and were once again forced to settle for a 1-1 draw.
Then came a 2-1 defeat at Czech Republic. Bulgaria took an early lead in the game but could not hold on, conceding the winning goal in the 50th minute. Then came a somewhat embarrassing home defeat at the hands of Kosovo. Bulgaria were leading 2-1 after 55 minutes but conceded an equaliser with just over 30 minutes remaining and then allowed a 93rd minute goal to lose the match 3-2.
With Bulgaria failing to beat Kosovo at home, it leaves huge question marks about what they can realistically achieve in this match. The England vs Bulgaria betting odds have them as the massive outsiders, priced at 20 to win the match. Even the draw is on offer at the big price of 7.5.

3. England vs Bulgaria Betting Odds
England have become an exciting team to watch and despite drawing 0-0 with Switzerland in the third place playoff for the Nations League, they have seen plenty of goals. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in six of their last seven games in all competitions and given the calibre of the opposition in this game, we should see more than that.
England to win and over 4.5 goals is on offer at 4.4 with Unibet and makes a tempting bet. You can also get 1.6 for England to win to nil.
