Greece vs Bulgaria prediction: Snooze-fest at Pankritio Stadium
Key Stats
- The results from the last 10 matches indicate that this is a close-call clash, as we saw four victories for Greece, three for Bulgaria, and three draws.
- We didn’t see goals galore in eight consecutive games between the two countries.
- Bulgaria produced only two shots on target in 90 minutes of play in their last away game.
Correct score prediction: Greece 0-0 Bulgaria
As mentioned previously in our Greece vs Bulgaria prediction, coach Ilian Iliev’s players aren’t performing that well away from home. They even shared the spoils with lacklustre Cyprus in their previous friendly. Surely, we will see more of the same against Cyprus as well.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Doesn’t seem like visitors will get something
- HOME: 53/100 (1.53) – 65.4%
- DRAW: 13/5 (3.60) – 27.8%
- AWAY: 41/10 (5.10) – 19.6%
*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
As you can see from the odds in our professional Greece vs Bulgaria prediction, the clear favourites to win this match are the home side’s players, with odds priced at 53/100 (1.53). They have a whopping 65.4% win probability before the start of the game, but we believe a draw at 13/5 (3.60) is far more likely to be the case at Pankritio Stadium.
Most recent H2Hs: Bulgaria need a win

Greece team news and form: Lucky Ivan Jovanovic
Coach Jovanovic is lucky enough to have all of his star players fit and ready for action. This means that the game will be very difficult for Bulgaria, as they have already proved shaky in their away games.
Predicted lineup: Mandas (GK), Vagiannidis, Retsos, Koulierakis, Giannoulis, Kourbelis, Zafeiris, Tzolis, Konstantelias, Karetsas & Pavlidis

Bulgaria team news and form: Can Bulgaria weather the storm?
The Bulgarian boss said that his team needs to ‘get hit’ in order to wake up and start playing. We believe he will make the necessary adjustments in order for his team to play at a higher level against Greece.

Player to watch: Aleksandar Kolev
We have to give it to Kolev, he did well to help Bulgaria avoid defeat in their friendly game against Cyprus a few days ago. Not only was he a constant threat to the opposition, but he even managed to score a lovely brace for his country, which is why we are giving him a shout-out in our top Greece vs Bulgaria prediction.
Kolev will start
We sincerely doubt coach Iliev will bench Kolev after that masterclass display a few days ago. It’s not like Bulgaria has that many quality strikers anyway, which means Kolev is an almost certain starter this week.
