Bulgaria
Bulgaria is going through a tough period, with very few players representing top European leagues, and their recent results have been disappointing. They finished last in their group during the Euro 2024 qualifiers and started the current Nations League with a 0-0 draw against a modest Belarus side.
In their last 16 matches across all competitions, including friendlies, Bulgaria has only won once. However, in the previous Nations League campaign, they managed to finish second in their group, behind Georgia but ahead of North Macedonia and Gibraltar.
Northern Ireland
Northern Ireland, once surprising the football world with their performance at Euro 2016, is now far from those heights. They finished fifth in their Euro 2024 qualifying group, collecting just 9 points, ahead of only San Marino.
However, they began the current Nations League on a positive note, defeating Luxembourg at home, with two early goals by the 16th minute. Northern Ireland has won three of their last five matches.
