Bulgaria head into the contest with a 66-62 victory against Montenegro. With this win, they extended their winning streak to three matches. Bulgaria outclassed all three opponents in the EuroBasket qualifiers. The hosts are strong contenders to finish in top-two in Group E. One more victory will strengthen their chances for the EuroBasket. They will take on Azerbaijan again.
Bulgaria dropped the season-high 141 points against Azerbaijan in a campaign opener. The hosts had a 93-point blowout victory which is highest in the EuroBasket qualifiers. This single win has boosted their chances. Bulgaria shot 40% from the floor and just 21% from the three-point line. They committed 18 turnovers in the game. The hosts are scoring 95.6 points in the qualifiers.
Four players reached double figures for Bulgaria. Gergana Ivanova led the scoring with 15 points. Khaalia Hillsman went for 13 points and 7 rebounds, while Radostina Hristova added 11 points and seven rebounds. B Hristova also committed 10 points in the win. Ivanova could be an offensive threat in this fixture. The guard averaged 15.0 PPG in Women’s Euro Cup 2025/26 and looked in great touch during the qualifiers. We are backing her to score 15 or more points in the home fixture.
Azerbaijan had a dull start to the 207 EuroBasket qualifiers as they lost all three games. The visitors are under pressure ahead of a big game against Bulgaria. They are coming off a disappointing 34-9 loss to Ukraine in Group E. Azerbaijan suffered one of their biggest blowout defeats in the qualifying round. Previously, they had the 93-point defeat against Bulgaria which was the second-biggest defeat in EuroBasket history. Azerbaijan desperately need a victory to avoid elimination.
Azerbaijan looked sloppy on the court as they are currently the worst offensive side in the qualifiers. They averaged 48 points per game in the ongoing EuroBasket qualifiers. The visitors conceded more than 100 points in two of three games. They have allowed 114.3 points per game in the qualifiers. Azerbaijan have been the worst side on the court. They are struggling to compete against any team.
Only two players recorded double figures for Azerbaijan in the last game. Deniz Gokcol was the top scorer with 11 points. Salminaz Ramazanli went for 10 points. It has been another disappointing performance from their starters. If we find out the offensive threat in the upcoming fixture, Gokcol’s name is right up there. The young guard averaged 11.9 points in last year’s U18 FIBA tournament. We back her to score 10 or more points in the upcoming fixture.
