Montenegro vs Armenia prediction: A narrow win for the home team
Key stats
- Armenia have conceded a total of 14 goals in their last three games.
- We saw both teams score in two of the previous three H2H meetings between these teams.
- Both teams have scored in three of the last four Armenia's matches.
Correct score prediction: Montenegro 2-1 Armenia
Montenegro have notched a couple of wins at the start of the WC qualifiers and even though they've lost to Czechia in their last game, they are in good form.
The complete opposite is true for Armenia, so we expect the hosts to win. However, we can see this being a close match considering it's a friendly game between two teams of similar quality.

Montenegro preview: In solid form lately
While Montenegro did lose their last match against the Czech Republic, they have won the two games before, with all three games being played in the World Cup qualifiers. So, Montenegro did have a good start to the qualifiers, but it's important to note that the two wins came against Gibraltar and Faroe Islands, both at home.
Predicted lineup: Nikic (GK), Savic, Vujacic, Sipcic, Vesovic, Jankovic, Kuc, Radunovic, Vukotic, Jovetic & Krstovic

Armenia preview: Hoping to avoid another loss
The Armenian national team lost three times in a row, including a convincing 5-2 loss to Kosovo a few days ago in a friendly match. Before that, they lost 9-1 to Georgia on aggregate in their tie in the playoffs for a place in League B of the UEFA Nations League. They have only one win in their last eight games, six of which they've lost. So, it's safe to say that Armenia enter this match desperate for a good result.

Player to watch: Stevan Jovetic
The experienced forward will set the new record for most games for Montenegro against Armenia, while he's already by far Montenegro's top scorer in history, with 37 goals in 86 caps so far. Jovetic passed his prime a long time ago, but the 35-year-old forward is still the key player for this Montenegro team and we expect him to show it against Armenia as well.
