PFC Montana 1921 (home)
- PFC Montana 1921 (16 points) and Beroe Stara Zagora (19 points) are locked in a relegation dogfight in 16th and 15th place respectively in the Parva liga 2025/2026 after 26 matches.
- PFC Montana 1921 are winless in their last 5 league games (D1, L4), including a 0-3 home defeat to Ludogorets Razgrad.
- PFC Montana 1921 have won just 2, drawn 4 and lost 6 of their 12 home games in the 2025/2026 season, conceding an average of 1.50 goals per game and scoring just 0.75 goals in return.
- Montana, on the other hand, are playing a much more pragmatic style this season and are focused on ensuring survival first and foremost.
- They often line-up in a 4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2 structure with the sole aim of blocking up in deep, compact units and breaking with speed on the counter.
Beroe Stara Zagora (away)
- Beroe press high up the field, play with width, and overload the ball in central areas to try and control the rhythm and territory of the game, which is often played in a 4-2-3-1 structure.
- However, Uribe is yet to see the fruits of his labours, as his side remain in a relegation battle.
- Beroe Stara Zagora are winless in their last 5 fixtures (D2, L3), including a 0-3 defeat at home to Slavia Sofia.
- Beroe Stara Zagora are also winless in their last 2 away games, and are on a 3-match losing streak.
Head-to-Head
PFC Montana 1921 and Beroe drew 1-1 in their first head-to-head meeting of the Parva liga 2025/2026 four months ago at Beroe’s ground and a repeat of that result looks the most likely result of this crucial relegation battle.
Betting Insights
Both Teams to Score - No at 1.8 looks a good bet for this weekend’s game given both sides' low scoring and their defences' ability to keep things tight.
Prediction
The odds on the draw are not great ( 2.98 ) for this fixture, but given the recent form of both sides and their desperation for the points in this basement battle, it looks a lot more likely than the win of either side.
