Gibraltar take on the visitors Bulgaria in the round 3 match of League C in UEFA Nations League. The match will be played on Thursday, June 9th at Victoria Stadium (Gibraltar).
Gibraltar in the League of Nations was able to at least show something. "Team 54" - one of the youngest members of FIFA and UEFA. But this hardly justifies the low rating of this team. It simply represents a tiny enclave that does not even have the status of a state - a strategically important territory that is controlled by the UK. The population is just small, and the players are actually quite good amateurs. So it's great that they managed to win the group in the last Nations League with 8 points in 4 matches against Liechtenstein and San Marino. With stronger ones, in fact, nothing comes out. In last year's selection, not a single point was achieved. Now it all started with 0-4 with Georgia on the road. At home with North Macedonia, it turned out to concede 2 times less. And, of course, they didn't score again.

Bulgaria has reached the participation in League C. The Lions will now play at the same level as Gibraltar. But if the outsider, following the results of the last draw, rose one level higher in the League of Nations, then the Bulgarians, on the contrary, were relegated to a lower division. The team also played mediocrely in qualifying for the World Cup in 2021. There, even Lithuania was able to beat the once ambitious team, however, , in the end, they seriously broke away from the Baltic states. But 8 points after 8 matches is an extremely modest figure. A new cycle began for Yasen Petrov's wards with a draw at home against strong North Macedonia - Despodov opened the score, but at the beginning of the 2nd half, Ristovski scored 1-1. With Georgia at home, the Bulgarians conceded twice in the first half hour. And, having reduced the backlog, they got 3 more goals, eventually losing 2-5.
Gibraltar is a young team and it is not surprising that they have a modest history of confrontations. There was 1 in total, a friendly match, when in November 2020 Bulgaria managed to defeat the outsider 3-0. Bulgaria should finally please the fans. Whom to smash, if not Gibraltar, even on the road? We bet on visitors with a "-2" handicap.
Prediction for the match: Bulgaria to win with -2.0 handicap.
