ENGLAND'S 10-year unbeaten record in qualifiers is gone but they should launch another run on Monday.
Gareth Southgate's men were poor in Friday's 2-1 defeat to the Czech Republic but maybe it was the wake-up call needed.
Group games had been too easy for the English and maybe they thought they had to just turn up to win.
Redemption should be sweet against a side they thrashed 4-0 at Wembley and who prop up Group A with just three points from 18.
England are just 1-4 to win at bet365 and that's little value. Unless Bulgaria show massive improvement Southgate's men will win at least two at 4-6 with boylesports.
Southgate will have some concerns about his defence with five goals conceded in two outings but will make changes.
Bulgaria have netted just five goals in six games but England and over 2.5 match goals has a chance at 20-23 with boylesports.
I'd want to see line-ups before picking a first scorer but Harry Kane might be the man again at 13-5 with Betway.
Game of the night is in Group B where leaders Ukraine face nearest rivals Portugal.
I don't think the Portuguese will lose but to win they look a little short at 6-5 with Betway compared to 13-5 for the home side so best bet could be both to score at 21-20 with McBookie.
Cristiano Ronaldo is searching for his 700th career goal and is 23-20 with McBookie to get it.
Serbia will be hoping for a Portugal win that will allow them to stay in contention if they win at Lithuania. It's almost a given but they are no bigger than 2-7 to consider Serbia -1 at 4-5 with Coral against a side conceding three a game and who beat their rivals 4-1 at home.
The top two in Group H also meet with France hosting Turkey and the winners will just about seal their finals place.
Turkey won 2-0 in January but the French should gain revenge and are 2-5 at Ladbrokes to do so.

Just back in and got the beers in the freezer for England second half.
Not aware about what you’re saying about Johnb. We actually stood down Johnb due to a bad run of form although we did it with a heavy heart.
