Italy vs Bulgaria will see two unbeaten sides clash in Palermo on Friday night in an eagerly anticipated World Cup 2014 qualifier to get to Brazil next year. Italy currently hold a four point advantage over Bulgaria at the top of the group, but a win tonight for Bulgaria will throw the group wide open again.

Italy vs Bulgaria is scheduled to kick off at 2.45 p.m. ET and can be watched online through live stream via the link provided below.

A win tonight for Italy will almost confirm their spot in the Finals next year. If they can beat Bulgaria they will open up a seven point gap and not many would predict the Italians giving up that lead with so few games remaining.

However, if Bulgaria can cause a massive upset tonight and beat the Italians in Italy then the group would suddenly become one of the most interesting in Europe.

But Bulgaria have drawn four of their six qualifiers so far and haven't played a competitive game since March, so they may not be at their best. Recently they have defeated Japan 2-0 and Kazakhstan 2-1 in friendlies, but Macedonia pulled off a 2-0 surprise in their most recent outing last month.

Last year this same head to head fixture between Italy and Bulgaria ended 2-2, which shows that Bulgaria have got the players to open up Italy's highly heralded defense. However, playing Italy in their own back yard may prove more difficult for Bulgaria.
