Bulgaria and Georgia are set to play their final match in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers on Tuesday. Bulgaria has had a dismal campaign, losing all five games and remaining the only team in Group E without any points. They have a particularly poor record, having conceded 18 goals while scoring only once. This final fixture presents a chance for them to salvage some pride and secure their first win in over a year.
Georgia, who lost their reverse fixture against Bulgaria 3-0 in September, are looking to complete a double over their opponents. Despite a recent 4-0 hammering by Spain, Georgia has managed to secure three points in Group E, placing them third. Their solitary win in the qualifiers came against Bulgaria, highlighting the challenge ahead for the home team.
