Bet Builder Tip

🎯 Bulgaria to have 3+ Shots on Target

📈 Odds: 1.53

With Bulgaria needing to overturn a deficit, their attacking intent should see them register multiple efforts on target. They managed 3+ shots on target in the first leg, and considering their aggressive start in that fixture, an increase in this metric wouldn’t be surprising. During the group stage, Bulgaria averaged 3.83 shots on target per game, hitting at least three in eight of their last nine international matches. Ireland, meanwhile, have shown defensive vulnerability, conceding an average of 5.83 shots on target per game in the group stage. Notably, each of their last 10 opponents have registered at least three shots on target. For those looking to enhance their odds, backing 4+ Bulgaria shots on target (2.40) offers excellent value too.

🛑 Andrian Kraev to Commit 2+ Fouls

📈 Odds: 1.30

A midfield enforcer, Kraev thrives in breaking up play - and he doesn’t mind bending the rules to do so. During the group phase, he averaged 2.41 fouls per 90 minutes for Bulgaria and has committed at least two fouls in each of his last four international appearances, including in the first leg. His club statistics further highlight his aggressive nature, with a staggering 3.24 fouls per 90 minutes. With Ireland’s midfield duo Josh Cullen (1.66 fouls drawn per 90) and Jason Knight (1.95 fouls drawn per 90) likely to be heavily involved, Kraev will have his hands full -and the referee’s whistle could be busy.

🚀 Andrian Kraev to have 1+ Shots

📈 Odds: 1.67

While primarily a midfield disruptor, Kraev also contributes going forward. He attempted a shot in the first leg and has registered at least one attempt in each of his last three international appearances, hitting two or more in two of those. With Bulgaria in need of goals, expect their midfielders to take more responsibility in attack. Kraev’s tendency to push forward makes him a solid pick for at least one shot.
