Bulgaria Team News

In the last competitive match, Bulgaria lost to Montenegro away from home with 2:1. The home team took the lead in stoppage time of the first half, but in the 59th minute, they were down a player. Two minutes after that, Kiril Despodov missed a penalty for the visitors, and they reached the tie in the 79th minute when Spas Delev assisted Preslav Borukov, and he got into the scorers’ list. The home team scored the final result in the sixth minute of stoppage time.

They currently occupy the fourth position in the table with only two points won in five rounds, as many as eight less than the second-placed Serbia and the place that leads directly to the EURO. In the qualification so far, they have not recorded a single victory, with two draws and three defeats.

Bulgaria has no major absences and head coach Mladen Krstajic is expected to field his strongest line-up.

The Lions are likely to deploy their usual 3-4-3 formation, with captain Kirill Despodov as the central striker, while Lukas Petkov and Georgi Rusev pose a threat on the wings.
