England have a quite exceptional record in qualifying in recent years and are closing in on a whole decade of going unbeaten in summer tournament qualifiers, since losing to Ukraine in Dnipropetrovsk in October 2009.
Since then it's been 32 wins and nine draws in World Cup and European Championship qualifiers.
Harry Kane is expecting to lead the line, and he's just as prolific for his country as he is for his club, having been involved in 21 goals in 29 competitive appearances for England (17 goals, four assists), with four goals and one assist from seven prior European Championship qualifiers.
The other danger man in the side is Raheem Sterling, who has five goals from four games for Manchester City and he also has four goals from the first two qualifiers, including a brilliant hat-trick against the Czech Republic.
Each of Bulgaria's last six games in all competitions have featured a goal at both ends, which included four straight 1-1 draws in their last two Nations League games and first two qualifiers. But that competitive streak came to an end in June as they lost their last two fixtures, 2-1 away to the Czech Republic and a 3-2 at home to Kosovo, leaving their hopes of the Euros next summer hanging by a thread.
We recommend backing a comfortable England win, with goal machine Raheem Sterling to continue his prolific streak of late.
Recommendation
Raheem Sterling to score anytime and England to win 4-0 – 8/1 with Bet365
