Head to Head


The score is currently tied at 1-1 in terms of victories, while 4 of the total 6 matches ended without a winner.

The most recent head to head encounter took place in Podgorica in late 2019, ending in a goalless draw.

Bulgaria Form


Bulgaria have qualified for the European Championship only two times so far. The most recent one was in 2004, failing to reach the 2nd phase.

The Lions ended the UEFA Nations League C/Group D campaign as 2nd with nine points, behind Georgia and ahead of North Macedonia and Gibraltar.

The most recent friendly games against Cyprus (won 2-0) and Luxembourg (0-0) were solid displays.

Bulgaria are led by Serbian coach Mladen Krstajic since July 2022.

Montenegro Form


Montenegro have never qualified for any big football competition. Their biggest success in the last decade was promotion to UEFA Nations League B in 2021.

The Brave Falcons barely avoided relegation in the previous UEFA Nations League campaign, ending as 3rd with seven points behind Bosnia & Herzegovina and Finland.

Miodrag Radulovic’s side played two friendly matches in late 2022. They were defeated by Slovenia (0-1) and drew to Slovakia (2-2).
