A Battle for Euro 2024 Qualification Dreams
Key Stats
– Fedor Cernych is Lithuania’s man to watch, being a persistent threat in front of the goal.
– Despite their shaky form, Bulgaria maintained an impressive 52.2% ball possession in the qualifiers.
As the Euro 2024 qualifiers continue, two teams – Bulgaria and Lithuania – will be clashing on Saturday afternoon. Both are hoping to revitalise their campaigns and stake a claim to their first win of the qualifying stages.
Bulgaria: Hope Against Hope
Team Overview: The Bulgarians are not going through their best phase, having failed to secure a win in their last five matches. Their determination is palpable, though, as they prepare to give everything against Lithuania. Fortunately for the home side, no new injuries are troubling them. Delev, Stoyanov, and Yankov, however, are all pushing to be included in the starting line-up.
Star Players to Watch: Bulgaria’s standout players based on their performances in the qualifiers include forward Preslav Borukov with a BettingTips4You Expert Rating of 7.30 and goalkeeper Daniel Naumov close behind at 7.20. Defender Dimo Krastev and Alex Petkov are also in good form, both garnering ratings of 7.10.

Team Performance Analysis: Although Bulgaria’s form has been underwhelming, they’ve showcased some proficiency, particularly with ball possession averaging 52.2%. Their defence, however, has been leaky, conceding 8 goals in 5 matches and without a single clean sheet.
Lithuania: Breaking the Winless Streak
Team Overview: Lithuania, like their counterparts, are in dire need of a win, having failed to clinch one in their last 15 matches. Their attacking intent is evident, indicating a potential high-scoring affair. The main threat from Lithuania will be AEL Limassol forward, Fedor Cernych, who is expected to keep the Bulgarian defence on their toes.
Star Players to Watch: The visitors have Gytis Paulauskas, a forward who has netted twice in the qualifiers, leading their attacking line. Fedor Černych, another forward, along with defender Edvinas Girdvainis, has also been on the scoresheet, making them key players to monitor.
Previous Encounters and Predictions:
Recent Track Record: Both Bulgaria and Lithuania’s defensive vulnerabilities are evident. They’ve both conceded goals in three out of their last four games. This suggests a pattern – one that can be exploited by punters.
Predictions:
- Over/Under Market Prediction: With both teams showcasing attacking intent, and their recent goal-scoring patterns, betting on over 2.5 goals seems to be a solid bet. Their defensive frailties further strengthen this prediction.
- Correct Score Prediction: Given Bulgaria’s dominating performance in the reverse fixture, despite the game ending in a draw, a scoreline prediction of 2-1 in favour of Bulgaria could be on the cards.
- Goalscorer Prediction: Fedor Cernych for Lithuania has been consistently threatening in front of goal. With his current form and previous performances, he’s a likely candidate to score during the match.
- Corner Prediction: Bulgaria, in their recent matches, have averaged 6.4 corners. Given the attacking nature of both teams, it’s plausible to predict a total of 12 corners for both teams combined in the upcoming fixture.
