Teams Preview

Montenegro

Montenegro had a dull start to the EuroBasket qualifiers but they bounced back with two straight victories in the second leg of the campaign. They overcame Ukraine in the first game and outclassed Azerbaijan 94-35 in the second game. They are now second in the respective group. Montenegro will be in action for the final game against Bulgaria, who are unbeaten in the competition. Montenegro lost to Bulgaria 62-66 in the previous game. However, they will be home for the final group stage game. 

Montenegro will be tied with Ukraine if they lose this game and Ukraine defeats Azerbaijan. The previous win against Azerbaijan improved the point-difference for Montenegro and they will finish in the top-two. They can only slip to third if Ukraine surpasses them in point-difference which is possible considering Azerbaijan's form. Montenegro shot 44% from the floor and 38% from the three-point line. The hosts didn't allow the opposition to cross 12 points in a single quarter. They have averaged 80.8 points in the ongoing EuroBasket qualifiers. 

Three players recorded double figures for Montenegro in the last game. Andrea Glomazic was the leading scorer with 14 points, while Ksenija Scepanovic also dropped 14 points, including six rebounds. Nikolina Ilic also contributed 10 points. If we find out the offensive threat in the upcoming fixture, Scepanovic's name is right up there. The forward averaged 12.7 points in the WABA League this season. We back her to score 15 or more points in the upcoming fixture.

Bulgaria

Bulgaria showed dominance in the FIBA EuroBasket qualifiers this season by winning all five games in Group. With 10 points, they have confirmed their place at the top with qualification for the next round. They head into the contest with a 81-66 victory against Ukraine and it helped Montenegro to reach second spot. They can now spoil Montenegro's party in the final game by beating them by a big margin. However, both sides separated by just four points in the previous meeting.

Bulgaria dropped the season-high 141 points against Azerbaijan in a campaign opener and had a 93-point blowout victory which is highest in the EuroBasket qualifiers. They are averaging 97.6 points per game in the ongoing season. Bulgaria shot 40% from the floor and 35% from the three-point line. They also committed 18 turnovers in the game in reply to 20 turnovers. Bulgaria were edged out in the rebounding battle. 

Four players reached double figures for Bulgaria. Borislava Hristova led the scoring with 24 points. Khaalia Hillsman went for 21 points and 11 rebounds, while Karina Konstantinova dropped 15 points. Gergana Ivanova also added 10 points. Ivanova could also 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 road fixture.
