England will take on Bulgaria on Saturday in UEA Euro 2020 qualifiers as both teams have hopes for qualifying for the showpiece event. The Three Lions go into this game as the favourites.
Kick-off : 5:00 PM (Local)
Venue : Wembley Stadium, London
England are having a pretty fine 2020 Euro qualifying campaign and they must be happy with that. Although work is still their to be done.
At the moment England are top of the points table after two games with full six points. They have a goal difference of +9. England must continue the good work and play their brand of football.
The Three Lions next opponents are Eastern Europeans Bulgaria at home. England shouldn’t have much problems in this one and must dominate at home in front of their home crowd to extract the three points.
England are brilliant in the final third while defensively also they are doing the job. Midfield is always crucial. They need to execute the game plan well.
On the other hand, Bulgaria have had a poor start to their Euro 2020 campaign and are yet to win a game. They need to improve.
Bulgaria currently are 4th in the group after four games with just two points. England should be a tough one especially away from home.
Bulgaria though must play quality football giving their all and hoping for the best.
England have never lost to Bulgaria and they will be very proud of the fact. A Challenge awaits for Bulgaria.
