Contents
- Competition: UEFA EURO Qualification

- Venue: Gradski stadion Dubočica (Leskovac)
Despite the fluctuations and two losses to Hungary during the competition, Serbia still has a chance to end these qualifications on a high note. There’s even a potential scenario where the Serbian national team could finish first if Bulgaria wins their final round and Hungary loses to Montenegro. However, such a result would undoubtedly be undeserved. The victories that put Serbia in its current position were mainly against Montenegro, which essentially secured their place in Germany. Recently, Serbia suffered a loss to Belgium in a friendly match, which involved some level of strategy. Now, the team’s strongest lineup is anticipated.
The Bulgarian national team attempted a positive shift and a slight refreshment by replacing Mladen Krstajic before the end of the qualifiers. Apparently, this move was successful. A draw against Hungary, the group’s top team in the previous round, is undoubtedly a commendable result. However, Bulgaria has a slim chance of avoiding the group’s last place as Lithuania leads by 3 points. Any victory achieved will likely be tainted with a sense of disappointment following these qualifications. Thus, the team must begin strategizing for the 2026 World Championship qualifications ahead of time.
Serbia vs Bulgaria Prediction: SERBIA TO WIN AND COVER AH -1.5
Evidently, Serbia may not have a team that can compete with the most powerful European and global teams, but they do fare well against inferior teams, particularly on home ground. They had smooth victories against Lithuania and Montenegro, and Bulgaria was fortunate to secure a draw in Sofia. Serbia is likely to dominate ball possession in this match. Crucially, their potent attacking players could significantly exploit Bulgaria’s unmovable defense. We predict a high-scoring match, with the majority of goals from the home team. Therefore, the most prudent bet for this match would be Serbia winning by a margin of 2 or more goals.
