Bulgaria vs Georgia predictions: Goals expected
Key stats
- At least three goals were scored in eight of Bulgaria's last nine matches.
- Four of Georgia's last five games went above the 2.5-goal line.
- Georgia won the reverse fixture by three unanswered goals.
Correct score prediction: Bulgaria 1-3 Georgia
It is important to note that this is a meaningless game for both teams, as Bulgaria and Georgia are guaranteed the last two spots in Group E.
However, it is worth noting that Bulgaria have suffered five defeats in as many FIFA World Cup qualifying games, including a 3-0 loss against Georgia in the reverse fixture.
Although both teams have nothing left to play for, we are confident that Georgia will emerge victorious.

*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Bulgaria's 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign has been as bad as it can get, as they have lost all five of their qualifying games, allowing 3.6 goals per game on average. Aleksandar Dimitrov's men have lost six in a row and are without a win in their last 10 games across all competitions.
Georgia, on the other hand, are currently on a three-match losing run. They have earned only three points in the FIFA World Cup qualifiers, which is nine fewer than second-placed Turkey.
Ahead of this encounter, Georgia are the expected winners at 11/20 (1.55). Teams with these odds generally have a 64.5% probability of winning.
