Bulgaria's form
Bulgaria arrives for the match occupying third place in the group, with four points earned in four games. The team needs a win to remain in contention for promotion, but also depends on a combination of results to maintain their chances.
The team led by Atanas Ribarski is going through an inconsistent period, with only one victory in their last six matches across all competitions. In the previous round of the Nations League, the Bulgarians defeated Luxembourg 2-0, achieving their second clean sheet in the competition.
Despite the positive result, the offensive performance is a concern. The team has scored only three goals in four matches and failed to score in eight of its last 15 games.
How Iceland is doing
Iceland comes into the match leading the group, with eight points earned in four rounds. The team is undefeated in the competition and can secure promotion to League B if it beats Bulgaria and Estonia stumbles against Luxembourg.
Under the command of Arnar Gunnlaugsson, the Icelanders are on a four-game unbeaten run, with two wins and two draws. In the previous round, the team drew 0-0 against Estonia, a result that prevented them from securing first place in the group.
Despite their good campaign in the Nations League, the team has won only two of its last ten matches across all competitions, demonstrating some inconsistency in recent results.
