Bulgaria coach Ilian Iliev is forced to make changes to all lines for the away game of Northern Ireland. The reason lies in the punishments of Alex Petkov, Fabian Nürnberger and Alex Kolev. It is expected that there will be an internal change in the composition, writes "Tema sport", reported Topsport.
Against Luxembourg, Valentin Antov played as a defensive midfielder, but now he will be next to Zhivko Atanasov in the center of the rear guard. Options for his replacement in the midfield are Ivaylo Chochev and Vasil Panayotov. With greater chances to start is the former because he is good in the game with the head, and there will be no shortage of crosses in front of our goal. Hristiyan Petrov from CSKA will play as left back, who will be preferred over Angel Lyaskov from Loko Pd, who was called up for fire. It seems logical that Alex Kolev will be replaced at the top of the attack by Georgi Minchev.
On Saturday, winger Radoslav Kirilov was not convincing enough against Luxembourg. This could open the way to the starting eleven for Zdravko Dimitrov, who came on strongly from the bench.
