Group A of Euro 2020 qualification has been a frustrating experience for Montenegro and Bulgaria. The pair meet on Friday night at the Stadion Pod Goricom.
Both teams have endured poor qualification campaigns, picking up just two points apiece from their five group games, having both failed to win any of their games in the group. Their performances have all-bit ruled out either qualifying for Euro 2020, although second-place Czech Republic have only picked up nine points.
Montenegro have not just struggled for wins in Euro 2020 qualification, as they have now won just one of their last eight matches in all competitions. They have also failed to win in their last seven qualifiers for the European Championships.
The home side has found victories hard to come by on home soil, as they have recorded just two wins in their last ten outings. Montenegro have also won just once in their last seven qualifiers at home.
Bulgaria head into this clash on the back of a seven-game winless run in all competitions. They have also lost their last four matches, including their last three Euro 2020 qualifiers. The visitors have struggled in qualifying for European Championships of late, winning just once in their last nine qualifiers.
Poor defensive displays have plagued their Euro 2020 qualification, as they have conceded at least two goals in their last three qualifiers. They have also failed to keep a clean sheet in five European Championship qualifiers.
Bulgaria have been poor on their travels in qualifying for the European Championships, as they have failed to win in five qualifiers, suffering four defeats in the process. Once again, the visitors have been poor in defence in their away qualifiers, conceding at least two goals in three of their last four outings.
There has not been much between the two teams in qualifying so far. Therefore, Forebet predicting this game will end in a low-scoring draw is unsurprising.
