Bulgaria’s search for a first point of the 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualification UEFA Group E campaign faces an uphill battle against Spain on Tuesday. This match in Valladolid between the league leaders, La Roja, and the fourth-placed Lions comes with our prediction of Bulgaria +4 European Handicap.
Spain started the campaign with a 100% record, winning all three matches and holding a three-point lead over Turkey. Bulgaria are at the bottom with no points and looking abysmal in their hopes of qualification.
A 2-0 home win over Georgia on Saturday continued Spain’s march in the qualifiers. They are yet to concede a goal in these qualifiers, having defeated Bulgaria (3-0) and Turkey (6-0) in the previous rounds.
The reigning European champions are so strong that they have lost only one of their last 74 World Cup qualifying matches across the last 32 years. La Roja won five of their last six home matches during regular time, drawing the other.
Bulgaria were beaten 6-1 away by Turkey at the weekend, extending their poor recent record. They lost all four recent games and conceded 16 goals during the process, while scoring just one goal!
Even on the road, the Lions have struggled to set the tempo, and their last four away defeats saw them concede 14 goals.

Our Spain vs Bulgaria Prediction
Bulgari are proving to be the punching bags of the group, losing all three qualifiers so far. They have already shipped 12 goals, but six of those were scored by Turkey in their previous match. They would be keen to limit the damage here against a Spanish side looking unbeatable. They are yet to concede a goal in this campaign and are doubly dangerous playing on home soil.
Bulgaria are likely to be stubborn to avoid a heavy defeat, and our Spain vs Bulgaria prediction is Bulgaria +4 European Handicap.
