Bulgaria Team News
In the last match of the League of Nations Group C, the Bulgarian national team defeated North Macedonia away from home with a score of 0:1. The home team remained in the early stages of the game with one less player, and the only goal of the match at the very start of the second half was scored by Kiril Despodov, and the assistant was Radoslav Kirilov.
In the last eight games (counting the League of Nations and friendlies), Bulgaria recorded three wins, four draws, and one loss. In the group, they finished second behind Georgia and were ranked better than North Macedonia and Gibraltar.
Coach Mladen Krstajić from the domestic championship has as many as 14 players on the list, among them Kiril Despodov and another striker Spas Delev. Eighteen-year-old Inter player Nikola Iliev and Ilia Gruev from Werder Bremen should play in the midfield. Also, as many as four debutants are on the list, namely Ivan Dyulgerov, Ivaylo Markov, Hristiyan Petrov, and Stanislav Shopov, but there is little chance that they will be in the starting 11 for the upcoming match.
Montenegro Team News
The football players of Montenegro were defeated by Finland in the last round of the League of Nations with a score of 0:2. Already in the 17th minute, Žarko Tomašević received a second yellow card and the home team was left with one player less. They resisted the guests’ attacks until the beginning of the second half, and then they conceded two goals in six minutes and lost the match.
In the previous eight games, they achieved two wins, two draws, and four losses. They finished the group stage of the League of Nations in third place behind Bosnia and Herzegovina and Finland, and ahead of Romania.
The defensive line of coach Miodrag Radulović’s team should be led by Atletico Madrid’s stopper Stefan Savić, while Stevan Jovetić will probably be the most prominent in the attack, and Lazio player Adam Marušić should be at left-back. The only debutant in the team will be Vladan Bubanja.
Bulgaria vs Montenegro H2H

Expected Lineups
Bulgaria (4-4-2): Vutsov; Galabov, Antov, Hristov, Nedyalkov; Kirilov, Krastev, Gruev, Iliev; Despodov, Delev
Montenegro (4-4-2): Mijatovic; Vesovic, Vujacic, Savic, Murasic; Jovovic, Scekic, Vukcevic, Haksabanovic; Jovetic, Mugosa
Bulgaria vs Montenegro Prediction
Due to the better form and advantage of the home field, we think that Bulgaria is closer to victory than Montenegro. However, in previous mutual duels, the results were tied. In addition, both teams are not that efficient, so our tip for this match is a home win or a draw, with less than 3.5 goals in the entire match.
