Bulgaria v Spain : World Cup Qualifying Europe match betting preview, prediction and odds

Thu 4th Sep, 19:45 BST, Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena, Tbilisi

It's a long trek for Pablo Peirano Pardeiro's Spain side on Thursday evening, as they visit the Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena for a World Cup Qualifying Europe clash with Georgi Kondratjev's Bulgaria. The predictions for all the markets are calculated using the past 20 games for each team (home, away and overall) with weighting assigned to top teams. All the stats and graphics are tailored for the betting market in question. Head-to-head statistics for this fixture are also given if there is some fixture history. Odds are provided directly from from leading bookmakers.

Best Tip: Spain to win

This one only looks like going one way and, unfortunately for the home side, that way is Spain's. We predict Thursday's visitors to Boris Paichadze Dinamo Arena will have too much for their hosts, and there's plenty of evidence to support that view in the sides' recent form stats, head-to-head (H2H) records and the odds from bookmakers too. They make an away win in the win / draw / win market the most likely final result, and are willing to give a best price of 1.11.
