The U21 match is not a friendly. It´s a qualification match for the next EURO Championship.

News from the Bulgarian squad I can give you. For the Georgian squad, I don´t have any info.

As we saw against Cyprus, the whole Bulgarian starting defence was missing and some new faces and debutants had to make the job, but they failed. Expecially debutant Ivan Ivanov played maybe the worst match of his live, doing 2 crucial errors for the 1st and the decisive 3rd goal for Cyprus.

Against Cyprus, goalkeeper Ivankov picked up an injury and will miss this match. Captain Stilian Petov received a yellow card and will miss also the match because of suspension.

So Bulgaria without the starting defence + 1st goalie and Stilian Petrov missing should have some problems against a weak Georgian squad. Also we have to remember that after the Cyprus defeat, Bulgaria is out of the WC 2010 and the atmosphere in the team is not good.

Geogia pretty weak, like usuall without a win yet. Maybe the best bet in this game is Berbatov to score at any time. He is the strongest player and the Georgian defenders are weak. With his skills he can do what he wants. Other good pick should be Georgia +2, as I cannot see Bulgaria winning this with 3 goals difference.

Berbatov to score at any time @ 2,45

Georgia + 2 @ 1,55

I mostly agree with Lazio except the +2 bet.

Mainly because the odds are way too low and in similar friendly matches (this is pretty much a friendly) we've won quite impressively in the last years. Like against Slovenia in the last qualies 3-0, against Turkey and Georgia in the recent past, etc.

Our team has this predisposition to play great when the first goal comes in and the pressure goes off.
Especially players like Bojinov, Domovchiiski, Rangelov are starting to improvise and play more interesting football once the pressure is off.

The -2 AH was priced yesterday at 3.50 which is a superb price imho.

Let's not forget also our match with Montenegro, a team i rate slightly better than Georgia, or equal at best.
Of course we had pretty much a full squad back then, so low stakes.

Staking bigger on Georgia +2 is a risky thing to do when our team at home can do anything from drawing to winning big, so better give it a try in the positive direction, with lower stakes on a good price.

That's what i think, maybe i'm wrong. We'll see tomorrow

Lads, I was watching the game between Montenegro and Georgia on Saturday and I can tell you that our squad is bad, but they are a complete mess. I don't know, I guess they neither how did they score that one goal.
Even it will be a "friendly" match, Bulgaria will smash them.

Sorry, indeed Denmark-Georgia is a friendly. A lot of U21 qualification matches today and I believed it was also one.

Kenia will play for sure, he played with U21 in Ireland and didn`t went to Denmark, because it was friendly.In Sofia he will be in starting line-up.
Also Levan Kobiashvili is back from Suspension and he may start as well.

Mchedlidze is 100% out and he is already in Italy. He won`t play.

This is the last match and I think Georgia will loose again even though they are eager to get 1 win in this campane.
I think Over is clever here, Bulgaria likes to score and it`s easy to score again Georgia (I am Georgian

Too bad selection in defence. Kaladze is out of form, Khizanishvili is good now, but he is single there. Lobzhanidze is weak! and Sanaia is weaker! I think there might be changes and instead of Sanaia, PoPkhadze will start on left wing (defence).

This is the last match for Hector Cuper. The Federation is not gonna sign any new deal with him.
By the way, in his last interview he said: "there are good players in Georgian team who doesn`t care about National team and don`t play well, and there are bad players who care about the team and they try to play". In this condition I don`t think Georgia may get anything from Bulgaria, if Bulgarians don`t stop playing at all.

Anyway I support my team, though I have very very good and great friends from Bulgaria, basically from Sofia.

This should be the bottom line

[jompy]

i think that now when we are not fighting for anything we will win
and we will say " Very good game , we can play good football"
when we are fighting for something , we loose
when its friendly match , we can win without problem

my prediction is bulgaria to win by one goal
