Bulgaria are among the minnows in Group C of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers and will be hoping they can start of their campaign with a shock as they host Switzerland. At 68th place, the home nation is ranked 52 places below Switzerland. In a group that also has Italy, Northern Ireland and Lithuania, a good start is very crucial. Bulgaria haven’t enjoyed much success in their recent matches, with three losses in their last five matches. The nation has managed just two wins in the last 22 matches and has four clean sheets in the last 15. In terms of scoring, Bulgaria are not the best to bank on and in their last 15 matches, they’ve managed to score two or more goals in just one. The goal shy nature of the team is a major reason as to why they have seven losses in the last 10 home matches. They are also winless in the last three World Cup qualification matches, losing two.

Switzerland had a poor run in the Nations League, failing to reach the heights they set in the inaugural competition. They finished third in their group this time and will be hoping these qualifiers don’t turn out to be a nightmare, like their Nations League campaign. The Swiss have one win in the last eight matches, and one clean sheet in the last nine. They have no win in their last four away matches, losing three and drawing one. Away from home also, they have conceded two or more goals in three of the last four. However, theirs is a different story in World Cup qualifiers. They have appeared at the World Cup 11 times, four more than Bulgaria. In their last 16 away matches in World Cup qualifiers, Switzerland have lost just once, and they have eight wins in 10 away matches in the qualifiers. Facing Bulgaria, Switzerland have won three times and lost once in six meetings.
