Beroe vs Montana Prediction & Betting Tips (20 October)

Beroe Stara Zagora will host Montana in the 12th round of the Bulgarian efbet League on October 18, 2025, at Stadion Beroe. The home side enters the match with a mixed bag of recent results, having secured a 2-1 win over Dobrudzha and a goalless draw against Slavia Sofia, but suffering a 3-1 defeat to Levski Sofia. Under the guidance of head coach Nikolay Kirov, Beroe has shown flashes of attacking promise, particularly through the midfield creativity of Ivan Minchev and the finishing prowess of striker Preslav Borukov. Their squad boasts a youthful average age of 22.7, with a strong foreign presence that adds depth and versatility to their tactical setup.

Montana, meanwhile, has struggled to find consistency this season. Their recent form includes a string of losses, and they currently sit near the bottom of the table. Coach Atanas Atanasov has been under pressure to turn things around, but the team’s lack of cohesion in both defense and attack has made progress difficult. Montana’s squad is slightly older on average, at 24.8 years, and while they have fewer foreign players than Beroe, they rely heavily on domestic talent. Forward Vladimir Ayvazov remains one of their few bright spots, often tasked with leading the line in a system that has yet to yield consistent results.

Historically, Beroe has had the upper hand in this fixture. In their last eight meetings, Beroe has won four, drawn three, and lost just once to Montana. The most recent encounters have been low-scoring affairs, with a 1-1 draw in April 2021 and a goalless stalemate in December 2020. However, Beroe’s current squad appears more dynamic than in previous seasons, and their home form has been relatively solid. Montana’s away performances, on the other hand, have been underwhelming, with low goal averages and defensive lapses that have cost them valuable points. The statistics suggest that Beroe will likely dominate possession and create more chances.

Taking all factors into account—form, squad depth, historical performance, and tactical setups—Beroe seems poised to edge this contest. Montana may find the net through a counterattack or set piece, but Beroe’s attacking momentum and home advantage should tip the balance. Expect a competitive match with moments of tension, especially if Montana manages to frustrate Beroe early on. Nevertheless, the prediction stands: a 2-1 victory for Beroe, with Borukov likely to be among the scorers and Montana grabbing a consolation goal late in the second half.
