World - World Cup
Prediction :
Georgia wins the match
Georgia and Bulgaria had losing starts to the 2026 World Cup qualifiers and will seek to bounce back when they face off in Round 2. These two find themselves in the bottom slots in Group E, which also has Spain and Turkey. Let’s have a look at the match prediction.
Georgia will appreciate the chance to play a second straight game at home. Their opening encounter against Turkey ended in a 3-2 defeat after coming up short in their fightback from 3-0 down.
They are winless in their last two matches now, but Georgia remain formidable, having posted three wins in five. They only lost twice in their last 12 matches at home.
Bulgaria come into this game winless in their last two meetings with Georgia. In their Nations League meetings in 2022, they lost at home before forcing a 0-0 draw away to Georgia.
The form they carry into this match suggests they may struggle again. The visitors are coming off a 3-0 home defeat to Spain in a game where they offered so little resistance.
A dominant Spain scored all three goals in the first half. That result left Bulgaria winless in six matches now. Their only win in the last nine matches was against Luxembourg, in November 2024. Away from home, they also have one win in the last 14 outings.

Our Georgia vs Bulgaria Prediction
Georgia had a brave fight against a clearly stronger Turkey side, and they narrowly fell at home. A second straight home match is a big opportunity to bring order to their World Cup qualification campaign. They have to take it, going into the match as favorites and facing a side that was not only outmuscled but also doing poorly on the road.
Bulgaria head into this encounter with four defeats in the last five matches, and have one win in 14 away games. Our prediction for Georgia v Bulgaria is that Georgia wins the match.
