Estonia host Bulgaria in the UEFA Nations League on 16 November 2026, a Group D fixture that closes out the 2026-2027 league phase for both sides. Estonia arrive second in the group with 9 points from 5 games and still unbeaten, while Bulgaria sit third on 4 points and need a result to keep any hopes alive. This page gathers the head-to-head record, recent form and key numbers for both teams.
Head-to-Head Record
The head-to-head record between these two nations spans just 4 meetings, so the sample is limited. Estonia have never beaten Bulgaria: the record reads 0 Estonia wins, 1 Bulgaria win and 3 draws, with the goals split 2-4 in Bulgaria’s favour across those fixtures. That works out at an average of 1.5 total goals per meeting, so this has historically been a low-scoring matchup. The most recent encounter came earlier in this very campaign, when Bulgaria and Estonia played out a 0-0 draw in the UEFA Nations League on 29 September 2026. The only competitive Bulgaria win came back in September 2003, a 2-0 victory in UEFA European Championship qualification, and the other two meetings were a 2-2 friendly draw in 2011 and a 0-0 stalemate in Euro qualification in April 2003.

Estonia: Recent Form
Estonia’s form is the standout feature of this fixture. Across their last 6 matches they are unbeaten, with 3 wins and 3 draws, scoring 4 goals and conceding just 1 — an average of 0.67 goals for and 0.17 against per game, worth 2.00 points per game. Five of those 6 matches ended in a clean sheet, though they also failed to score in 2 of them. One note of caution: 1 of those 6 matches was a friendly, a 1-0 home win over Lithuania in June 2026, so the run should not be read as entirely competitive. The competitive results have been remarkably consistent: a 1-0 win away to Luxembourg on 13 November 2026, a 0-0 draw at home to Iceland on 6 October, and a 1-0 home win over Luxembourg on 3 October, all in the UEFA Nations League.

Bulgaria: Recent Form
Bulgaria’s recent form makes for a stark contrast. In their last 6 matches they have won 1, drawn 2 and lost 3, scoring 5 goals but conceding 12 — an average of 0.83 goals for and 2.00 against per game, or 0.83 points per game. They have kept 2 clean sheets and failed to score in 3 of those matches. As with Estonia, 1 of the 6 was a friendly, a 2-2 draw away to Moldova in June 2026, so the run is not purely competitive. The most recent outing was a heavy 0-5 home defeat to Iceland on 13 November 2026 in the UEFA Nations League, though their one win in the window was a 2-0 success away to Luxembourg on 6 October.

How Estonia and Bulgaria Compare
In this competition’s Group D table, Estonia’s unbeaten 9-point return sits two places and five points above Bulgaria’s 4, and the underlying form numbers point the same way: Estonia have conceded a single goal across their last 6 matches, while Bulgaria have shipped 12 in the same span. Bulgaria do carry slightly more attacking output per game (0.83 versus 0.67 goals per game), but their defensive record and the 0-0 draw between them in September suggest goals have been scarce whenever these two meet.
