Montenegro welcome Bulgaria at their Stadion Pod Goricom in Podgorica in the return leg of their UEFA Euro Championship group matches on Friday evening. The two sides play in Group A of the qualifiers together with England, Czech Republic and Kosovo. Bulgaria are fourth in the standings while Montenegro sit at the bottom of the pile, but the two sides still have a remote chance of progressing. In the group, England have already controlling the proceedings, while Kosovo and the Czech Republic lead the contention for the second slot.
The Falcons will go into the match bearing a home advantage, which they must exploit for a win. This is despite the fact that they have only just won four times in their last 12 matches at home. But it is unlikely that Montenegro will leave the match without a goal as they have scored at least one goal in seven of the last 12 matches they hosted.
The visitors, on their part, have a great scoring streak and have only failed to score in three of their last 12 matches on the road. But it will be an overstretch to predict an outright win for Bulgaria, who have only won once in 12 away matches. This is also because three of five head to head matches between Montenegro and Bulgari ahve ended in draws, with each team winning one of the other two. However, we should expect a high-pace encounter as each of the two sides pursue the outright win they need for a chance to proceed in the tournament.
The two sides are evenly paired and will each vigorously contest for a clear win. Expect goals from both sides and at least three goals by the end of the game.
