Sofia, Bulgaria
Last Tuesday wan hot match wey dey come up na World Cup Qualifying stage. Bulgaria go meet Georgia for dia final clash, and no be small matter again. As e dey be, Bulgaria don waka enter dis final match without any point to their name. E be like say dem dey play jaga jaga since dis qualification palava start, while Georgia don win only once out of five matches. Wetin dem dey play, abi na football? (Pride no go help dem, sha.)
Bulgaria don carry dey whole winless run of ten matches (D2, L8). Na wetin? I no sabi! Dem even sack dia coach, Ilian Iliev, after dem been collect three goals from Spain and Georgia introduce new coach, but na di same wahala dem dey face. Last Saturday, dem lose 2-0 to Turkey, and dis one na wetin make dem dey fly from left to right like say dem no get direction.
Georgia, on top di other hand, don win just one match out of five wey dem play, but dem dey try hold their head high after dem make history for Euro 2024. E no easy wey no dem don knacked Bulgaria 3-0 just last September. Na so e be! But, na wetin sabi come happen next? Dis match na perfect opportunity for dem to collect di ginger, since dem don sabi wetin dem fit do.
As dem dey prepare, Bulgaria need to rely on line-up wey fit get dem first win, since dem no fit call Petko Hristov and some other players wey don waka go home due to injuries. Coach Dimitrov go need to align his tactics well, abi else dem go end for wahala. Georgia sef dey face their own issues with injuries, since some key players don miss trip go Sofia. E no make sense abeg!
Both teams dey struggle for form. Bulgaria last win na November 2024 against Luxembourg. Dem wan see if dem fit bring dia A-game. But whether dem go deliver na different matter! Georgia still dey plan to finish wetin dem started, whether dem fit end di group stage on a high note after dem collect plenty beating.
The match dey set for Tuesday and di stakes no be small. E no go mean anything for World Cup qualification, but pride dey for line. Fans go want to see whether Bulgaria fit break dia jinx, while Georgia go want make am show say dem fit play ball too!
No matter wetin happen, one thing we sabi sure na say, dis match no go lack entertainment, and na so e go be. As dem say: make dem bring di popcorn! (Na go dey laugh, even if di match dey cold.)
