Recent form
Belarus
Belarus' recent form shows a concerning trend, with their last two matches resulting in heavy 4-0 defeats against Israel and Russia in international friendlies. This marks a stark contrast to their previous two competitive matches in the Euros Qualifiers, where they secured back-to-back 1-0 victories against Kosovo and Andorra. The team's defensive record has been inconsistent, managing three clean sheets in their last six games, but conceding a worrying 10 goals overall, with 8 of those coming in just the last two matches. Belarus has struggled offensively, scoring only 2 goals in their last 6 games, averaging a mere 0.33 goals per game. The majority of their recent matches (67%) have seen under 2.5 goals, indicating a tendency towards low-scoring affairs, except for the two recent high-scoring losses.
Bulgaria
Bulgaria's recent form shows a notable resilience, with the team currently on a five-game unbeaten streak, consisting of one win and four consecutive draws. Their last six matches have been characterized by an impressive defensive record, conceding only 6 goals (1 per game) and keeping two clean sheets. While their offensive output has been modest, averaging 1.17 goals per game, they've managed to find the net consistently, scoring in five out of their last six matches. The team's ability to grind out results is evident, with 67% of their recent games ending in draws and the same percentage seeing both teams score. Interestingly, two-thirds of their matches have been relatively low-scoring affairs, with fewer than 2.5 goals, suggesting a tendency towards tight, competitive encounters. The standout result in this run was the 2-2 draw against both Serbia and Hungary in the Euro Qualifiers, showcasing Bulgaria's ability to compete with stronger opposition.

Recent home/away form
Belarus
Belarus' recent home form has been concerning, with a current three-game losing streak where they failed to score and conceded 10 goals. This marks a significant downturn from their previous two-game winning run. Their last six home matches have seen a stark contrast in performance, with two clean sheets in victories against Andorra and Kosovo, followed by three consecutive matches without scoring. The 4-0 defeats to both Israel and Russia stand out as particularly high-scoring games, contributing significantly to their poor goal difference of -8 over this period. Despite having an equal split of games going over and under 2.5 goals, Belarus' attacking output has been limited, averaging just 0.5 goals per game, while their defense has struggled, conceding an average of 1.83 goals per match.
Bulgaria
Bulgaria's recent away form shows resilience but a struggle to secure victories. In their last six away matches, they've managed one win, four draws, and one loss, demonstrating a tendency to share points rather than dominate. The team has been involved in several low-scoring affairs, with five out of six games ending with under 2.5 goals, indicating a defensive approach or difficulty in finding the net. Despite this, Bulgaria has shown an ability to compete against stronger opposition, earning draws against teams like Serbia and Slovenia. Their defensive record is noteworthy, conceding an average of just one goal per game and keeping two clean sheets in their last six away matches. However, their offensive output remains a concern, scoring only 0.83 goals per game on average during this period.
