In one of the qualification matches for the 2024 World Cup, the players of the national teams of Bulgaria and Montenegro will clash face to face. On whose side will the victory be in this duel? Our sports portal evaluates the opponents' chances of success.
BulgariaThe Bulgarian national team got into a very difficult group, being in the company of Montenegro, Hungary, Lithuania and Serbia.
The Bulgarians did not participate in the last FIFA World Cup, because they performed extremely poorly in the selection, but in the League of Nations League the Balkan team was able to please their fans by taking second place. It was not possible to get ahead of Georgia with 16 points, but the tricolor surprised the football world with their game. In friendly matches against Cyprus (2:0) and Luxembourg (0:0), the team did not lose, but could have played better.
MontenegroMontenegro also did not participate in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, but now begins its journey to the 2024 World Cup with a guest match against Bulgaria.
In League B of the League of Nations, the Montenegrins performed very well and took the third place, ahead of the last Romanians in additional indicators. In November, the team held two friendly meetings, in which they drew with Slovakia (2:2), and also lost to Slovenia with a minimum score of 0:1. Statistics and figures:
Bulgaria is a small favorite of the meeting;
- Bulgaria has a 6-match unbeaten streak;
- Montenegro does not know victories in 4 previous games;
- The last face-to-face meeting of the opponents ended with a score of 0:0.
- Forecast
Opponents often play in face-to-face meetings in a draw.
So, in the three previous meetings, this result was recorded. I believe that today the opponents will also sign the world cup, and he will not be beaten in the match by 2.5 goals.
