Turkey will be aiming to cement second place in Group E when they welcome Bulgaria to Bursa Ataturk Stadyumu in their penultimate game of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The Turks are a real force to be reckoned with at home, but boss Vincenzo Montella must warn his men against complacency. As always, a man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Real Madrid ace Arda Gular, while Fenerbahce forward rfan Kahveci makes a somewhat unexpected return to the national setup.
The Bulgarians, on the other hand, are having yet another qualifying campaign to forget. With Aleksandar Dimitrov’s troops already missing out on a spot at the next year’s showpiece tournament, we are tempted to place our bets on Turkey. The good news for the visiting side is that Osijek midfielder Stanislav Shopov has overcome his minor injury. Earlier in the process, Turkey crushed Bulgaria 6-1, which definitely supports our betting prediction.
This World Cup 2026 match will be played on Saturday 15 November 2025 at 17:00.
