HEIMIR HALLGRIMSSON DESCRIBED Ireland’s pairing with Bulgaria in the Nations League relegation play-offs as an “okay draw”, forecasting a low-scoring tie.
Advertisement “I think Bulgaria is an okay draw. It’s not my favourite, it’s not the worst”, said Hallgrimsson. “It’s good to have a home advantage . It’s a tricky place to go to, Bulgaria. If you look at their results, it’s a lot of low-scoring games. Clean sheets is their strength. That is going to be a tricky thing to break them down, for sure.”
There has been a persistent strand of thought that Ireland would actually benefit from relegation, however, given they have perennially battled against the drop from League B since the competition was launched. Across 22 League B games since 2018, Ireland have won just four.“Well, it’s different opinions as to how important it is to be in League B, some say it’s even better to be in Group C to have more chances of winning games”, said Hallgrimsson.
