Bulgaria vs Iceland head-to-head record, recent form and Group D context all point towards their UEFA Nations League fixture on 13 November 2026, with every figure below correct as of 12 November 2026. Iceland arrive top of Group D with 8 points from four matches and a goal difference of +6, while Bulgaria sit third in the same four-team group on 4 points with a goal difference of -2. Because both positions come from the same Group D table, they are directly comparable.
Head-to-Head Record
Across all three recorded meetings between the sides, Bulgaria hold the advantage with two wins to Iceland’s one and no draws. The archive’s earliest entry is 4 September 2004, so this is the complete set of meetings on record rather than a capped sample. Goals are level at 6-6, an average of 4.0 per meeting: Bulgaria won 3-1 in Iceland in September 2004 and 3-2 at home in September 2005, both in qualifiers, before Iceland took the most recent encounter 3-0 as the home side on 3 October 2026 in this same Nations League campaign.

Bulgaria: Recent Form
Bulgaria’s last six matches read W-L-D-L-D-L, a return of one win, two draws and three defeats, with 5 goals scored and 8 conceded and 0.83 points per game. Two of those six were friendlies – a 2-2 draw in Moldova and a 0-1 home defeat to Montenegro in June 2026 – so the run should not be read as purely competitive football. Their most recent outing was a 2-0 win away to Luxembourg on 6 October 2026, which followed the 0-3 defeat in Iceland three days earlier. Bulgaria have kept two clean sheets in the six but also failed to score three times, and in Group D they have taken 4 points from four matches.

Iceland: Recent Form
Iceland’s last six read D-W-W-D-L-L: two wins, two draws and two defeats, 7 goals for and 5 against, at 1.33 points per game. Two of the six were friendlies – a 0-3 loss in Argentina and a 0-1 loss in Japan in May and June 2026 – and both of those defeats fall inside that friendly block. Their most recent match was a 0-0 draw away to Estonia on 6 October 2026, after the 3-0 home win over Bulgaria on 3 October 2026. Iceland have three clean sheets in the six, though they were also shut out three times, and they remain unbeaten in Group D with 8 points from four games.

How Bulgaria and Iceland Compare
Iceland carry the stronger recent profile: a higher points-per-game return (1.33 against 0.83), more goals scored (7 to 5) and fewer conceded (5 to 8), plus an unbeaten Group D record and a +6 goal difference against Bulgaria’s -2. Bulgaria’s defensive numbers are not disastrous – two clean sheets in six – but three blanks in front of goal have limited them to a single win in that window. The head-to-head history offers Bulgaria some encouragement, with two wins from the three recorded meetings, though the most recent of those went 3-0 to Iceland in October 2026.
