Team news & squads
Bulgaria vs Ireland Probable lineups
Bulgaria team news
Dimitar Mitov has been Bulgaria's ever-present figure between the sticks throughout their Nations League campaign, conceding six goals across six outings. With that level of consistency, he is expected to retain his starting spot ahead of three alternative goalkeeping options.
At the back, Bulgaria could name an unchanged defense from their 1-1 draw with Belarus, which would see Viktor Popov, Simeon Petrov, Alex Petkov, and Darmstadt's Fabian Nürnberger continue in a four-man defensive unit.
In midfield, Andrian Kraev, who has been putting in steady performances in Liga Portugal, might edge out Leeds United's Ilia Gruev for the deep-lying role. Up top, Kiril Despodov, crowned Bulgarian Footballer of the Year, will look to make an impact as one of the team's most potent attacking threats.
Ireland team news
The Republic of Ireland have welcomed a few new names into their squad for the upcoming UEFA Nations League play-off against Bulgaria, with Rocco Vata and James Abankwah earning their maiden senior call-ups. Vata, a right winger for Watford, and Abankwah, currently on loan at the same club from Udinese, have been drafted into the squad for the first time.
Meanwhile, Sinclair Armstrong makes his return to international duty, with the Bristol Rovers striker earning a recall for the first time since 2023, while QPR defender Jimmy Dunne is back in the setup after last featuring in 2022. However, none of the quartet from the Championship are expected to slot straight into the starting lineup for Thursday's fixture.
At the back, Liverpool's Caoimhin Kelleher is likely to get the nod in goal, marshaled by a central defensive pairing of Nathan Collins and Dara O'Shea.
Up front, Evan Ferguson is set to spearhead the attack, with the 20-year-old striker potentially making his 19th senior appearance, which would see him become Ireland's second most-capped player before turning 21. He is expected to be joined by Troy Parrott, who has been in red-hot form this season, bagging 16 goals across the Eredivisie and the Europa League.
