Bulgaria
Thursday’s football game at ZTE Arena (neutral location) pits together Belarus and Bulgaria, the two teams who have not met in a competitive match since June 2017. Back then Belarus defeated Bulgaria 2-1, but Ilian Iliev’s men are seen as favourites to win the Nations League game. A man to keep an eye on in the away team will be PAOK forward Kiril Despodov.
Belarus, on the other hand, welcome their rivals in Hungary due to the difficult political situation in their homeland and that is probably the main reason why away win should be considered. Astana midfielder Max Ebong is the most notable player in Carlos Alos’ team. The 25-year-old has netted five goals in 38 appearances for the Belarus national team. Arouca striker Vladislav Morozov is widely expected to lead the line for the home side this time out.
Highlighted Team (Bulgaria):
Bulgaria national football team are well known for their “Golden generation” of players led by Hristo Stoichkov. The Bulgarian football legend was producing thrilling performances for the national team at the 1994 FIFA World Cup in USA and he helped the Lions make it to the semi-finals of the tournament.
The likes of Trifon Ivanov, Krasimir Balakov and Yordan Letchkov enjoyed a very successful tournament as well and, no doubt, they recorded a historical result at the 1994 FIFA World Cup. The Bulgarians defeated Germany in the quarter-finals, but Italy proved to be a big catch for Dimitar Penev’s team. Bulgaria eventually suffered a heavy loss to Sweden in the third-place playoffs. Nowadays, Bulgaria struggle in qualifiers for major tournaments and it has to be noted that they have not participated at the finals since 1994.
Vasil Levski National Stadium is considered Bulgaria’s home ground and the capacity of the stadium is 43.320. Bulgaria wear white shirts, green shorts and white socks when playing at home, whilst green and red are their second colours.
