Wales fans could outnumber their Bulgarian hosts as Gary Speed's men complete their failed Euro 2012 campaign in Sofia on Tuesday.

BBC football commentator Nigel Adderley reports: "The Bulgarian FA have said the fans have planned a boycott of tonight's match."

An estimated 400 Wales fans are heading to the 43,632 capacity stadium.

Bulgaria recently sacked coach Lothar Matthaus and could finish bottom of Group G if Wales win.

Wales can finish third in the group if they are victorious and Montenegro win in Switzerland.
