Montenegro vs Bulgaria Predictions

Bulgaria will take on Montenegro in Podgorica City Stadium in this Friday’s EURO 2020 Group A qualification game. Neither of these teams have managed to secure a single win in any of their 5 qualifiers thus far. This Friday’s game could be the best chance for both teams to secure a win in this qualification group.

These teams have had a very similar EURO 2020 qualification campaign. They are level on 2 points each at the bottom of Group A. Both teams have drawn 2 fixtures. The first time these two teams met in this group, they drew 1-1. Both teams also drew one of their games vs Kosovo. They have been very evenly matched throughout this campaign. 

Both of these teams have struggled immensely at the back in recent times. Montenegro have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 10 competitive games. Bulgaria haven’t been much better, themselves failing to keep a clean sheet in their last 9 competitive games. 

Bulgaria have only failed to score in 1 of their EURO 2020 qualification matches, their away game vs England. Montenegro have failed to score in 2 of their 5 EURO 2020 qualification matches, both their games vs the Czech Republic. 

We expect to see goals at both ends in Friday’s fixture, given the leaky nature of both teams’ respective backlines. Both teams have scored in 4 of the previous 5 meetings between these two teams. We expect both teams to score in Friday’s fixture.

Neither of these teams have looked particularly convincing in recent times. Montenegro have failed to win their last 5 competitive home games. Meanwhile, Bulgaria have similarly failed to win their last 5 competitive away games. 

These teams have been very evenly matched throughout this campaign. This was highlighted as they drew their previous meeting 1-1 back in March. We feel that this scoreline has a good chance of repeating itself this Friday. A 1-1 draw is likely in this game.
