⚽ Bulgaria vs Iceland
📅 13 November 2026, 19:45 UTC
🏟 UEFA Nations League, League C Group C4
🏆 RESULT ASSESSMENT
Lean: Iceland to win
Winner confidence: Low
Iceland are unbeaten after four group matches, lead the group and won the reverse fixture 3–0. However, two draws against Estonia and incomplete Iceland availability information limit confidence in the outright result.
🛡 SAFER RESULT ASSESSMENT
X2 — Iceland or Draw
Double-chance confidence: Medium-high
Iceland have an away win and an away draw without conceding, while Bulgaria are winless in their two home group matches.
🥅 GOALS
Tentative Over 1.5 lean — confidence: Medium-low
Under 3.5 lean — confidence: Medium-high
Over 2.5 — NO PICK
Under 2.5 — NO PICK
Six of the eight examined team-results finished over 1.5 goals, while all eight stayed under 3.5. This is a small, opponent-overlapping sample and should not be treated as a calibrated probability model. Bulgaria’s must-win situation could also make the closing stages more open.
📊 BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE
BTTS No lean — confidence: Medium-high
Six of the eight examined results had at least one team fail to score. Iceland conceded only once across four group matches and kept clean sheets in both away matches. Bulgaria’s need to win is the main opposing factor.
No numerical probabilities were supplied because the evidence was insufficient to support calibrated estimates. No indicative score was selected.
⚠️ What could change the picture?
Iceland’s current availability and both likely starting elevens remain incomplete. Bulgaria’s Martin Minchev withdrew through injury, with Svetoslav Kovachev called up as his replacement. Bulgaria must win to retain a chance of finishing in the top two, which may encourage a more aggressive approach. Iceland’s two draws against Estonia also show that their attack has not been uniformly reliable against compact opposition.
Other research estimates:
No opposing numerical estimates were supplied. Over 2.5 and Under 2.5 were both assessed as NO PICK.
