Okay, I will write a news article about the Türkiye vs Bulgaria match, including how to watch, odds, and a preview, based on the latest information available.
Türkiye is set to host Bulgaria at the Bursa Atatürk Stadium on November 15, 2025, in a crucial World Cup Qualification match. The game, kicking off at 8:00 PM local time (5:00 PM GMT), holds significant importance for both teams, albeit for different reasons.
Türkiye, currently second in Group E with 9 points, aims to solidify their position for a play-off spot, with slim hopes of automatic qualification due to Spain's dominance. Bulgaria, sitting at the bottom of the group with zero points, is desperate to end their dismal campaign on a positive note.

Betting tips suggest considering options like Turkey to win and over 2.5 goals. A correct score prediction leans towards a 3-0 victory for Türkiye.
World Cup Qualifying Preview:
Türkiye, coached by Vincenzo Montella, has shown strong form recently, despite a 6-0 defeat to Spain. They bounced back with a 6-1 thrashing of Bulgaria and a 4-1 victory over Georgia. Their attack has been potent, scoring in 15 of their last 16 home World Cup qualifying matches. Key players to watch include Kenan Yıldız, who scored twice in the reverse fixture, and Hakan Çalhanoğlu. Eren Elmali is out of the squad for disciplinary reasons.
Bulgaria's campaign has been disastrous, losing all their matches and conceding 16 goals in four qualifiers. They are on a five-game losing streak in World Cup qualifiers. Their last away win in a World Cup qualifier was in September 2013. Several players, including Anton Nedyalkov and Radoslav Kirilov, will miss the match due to injury. Kirilov is the only Bulgaria player to score in this WCQ cycle.
Türkiye has a commanding head-to-head advantage, winning the last three international meetings against Bulgaria. In their most recent encounter in October, Türkiye defeated Bulgaria 6-1.
Given Türkiye's form, attacking prowess, and Bulgaria's struggles, a comfortable Turkish victory is widely expected. Türkiye needs the points to secure a play-off place. For Bulgaria, pride is the main motivation as they seek to end their losing streak.
