Expert Betting Tips

Bulgaria and Lithuania are the outsiders of their group. The home team is in a better mood for an upcoming match. A couple of days ago, they played against the current European champions – the Italians. The draw at the Italian stadium is an excellent result for the modest Bulgaria team. However, in the home game against Lithuania, the Bulgarians will be expected to win. Both teams don't play confidently in defense and make mistakes. Therefore, we should expect that the forwards will be able to prove themselves and show effective actions. For the upcoming match, I suggest considering lines with a quick goal and a Total Over.
