Coral’s bet of the day

• Ronaldo has scored 18 in his last 23 international appearances
• The Portuguese has hit 41 in 38 for club Real Madrid this campaign
• Bulgaria have conceded five goals in their last four games

Ronaldo 21/10 to bag first versus Bulgaria

Who else but Cristiano Ronaldo could star in Coral’s latest bet of the day? The Real Madrid icon is expected to return and flex his muscles on the international stage for Portugal against Bulgaria, having been rested by the Navigators in their previous friendly fixtures.

In fine fettle and ferocious form, Ronaldo is a superb 21/10 to be first on target for the Portuguese, in this battle between the Iberians, rated seventh in the FIFA rankings, and 71st placed Bulgaria.

Ronaldo is expected to bare his teeth against the Lions, having roared to 18 goals in his past 23 appearances for Portugal and further highlighting his status as their main protagonist ahead of Euro 2016.

Lions limp ahead of Leiria trip

Bulgaria’s previous seven scuffles away from home have resulted in only one win, as faded force the Lions slumped to a fourth placed finish in Euro qualifying and a whopping eight points off even a play-off spot.
