Head to Head

Tanzania and Bulgaria meet for the first in a competitive match.

Dalga Arena in Azerbaijan is the venue for this match.

Tanzania Form

Tanzania did not achieve their Africa Cup of Nations objectives in the Ivory Coast, failing to make it out of the group stages after losing 3-0 against Morocco and drawing 1-1 against Zambia and the DRC.

Before that, Tanzania had lost to Morocco 2-0 in a World Cup qualifier and 2-0 against Egypt in a friendly.

The Tafia Stars have lost three of their last five fixtures, including two draws. They netted just one goal and conceded seven.

Tanzania have not been at their best lately, winning three of their last eleven internationals and scoring only five goals during those games. Can they be more clinical upfront against Bulgaria?

Bulgaria Form

Bulgaria finished last in Group G of the 2024 Euro qualifiers without winning a match.

Bulgaria's recent run of results includes losing 2-1 against Montenegro away from home and 2-0 against Lithuania at home before losing by the same margin against Albania away in a friendly.

They earned a 2-2 draw against Hungary at home and a 2-2 draw against Serbia away from home in their final two qualifying fixtures.

Bulgaria have registered three defeats in their last five matches, including two draws. They scored five goals and conceded ten.

Bulgaria have been on an 11-match run without a victory but did show improvement in their final two qualifiers, drawing against Hungary and Serbia, who have both made it to the 2024 Euro Championships later this year; however, they have regularly been leaking goals at the back.
