THE PREDICTION
The home team come into this on the back of a surprise 3-1 defeat away to Lithuania at the weekend. That was a surprise because it came after an impressive September international break in which Bulgaria held Italy and pulled off back-to-back wins against Lithuania and Georgia. They are six points adrift of Switzerland in second, level on points with Northern Ireland. Anything other than a Northern Ireland win would see them knocked out. They will fancy their chances against a Bulgarian side already out so a tight and low-scoring away win seems a decent bet for this one.
