Stadion Hristo Botev will host Sunday's friendly between Bulgaria and Montenegro, with both sides eager to end their disappointing campaigns on a positive note after failing to qualify for the 2026 World Cup finals. Bulgaria head into the clash without injured star winger Kiril Despodov, which is a major blow for the hosts given his importance in the final third. Despite winning three of their last four matches, the Lions have struggled defensively for most of the past year, conceding 2.7 goals per game across their last ten outings. Bulgaria’s matches have also been entertaining, averaging 4.3 total goals per game, while they managed just one clean sheet during that run.
Montenegro, meanwhile, travel to Plovdiv without veteran striker Stevan Jovetic, who has been omitted from the squad. As a result, the spotlight will fall on Atalanta forward Nikola Krstovic, who is expected to lead the line for the visitors. Montenegro have also been inconsistent lately, winning only three of their last ten matches, while their away form remains worrying after scoring just 0.5 goals per game on the road. The Brave Falcons do, however, hold the upper hand in the recent head-to-head meetings, remaining unbeaten in four previous encounters against Bulgaria.
As three of the previous four meetings between these nations produced fewer than 3 goals, we are tempted to bet on Under 2.5 goals, alongside Half-Time Draw and Draw.
This match will be played on Monday 1 June 2026 at 17:00.
