Serbia to Win
The visiting side made a breakthrough ever since Dragan Stojkovic took over the helm as the national manager, and their participation at the recent World Cup confirms that fact. Even though they didn't have the success they wanted in Qatar, they managed to put some groundwork for their future endeavors. These teams only played twice before, during the UEFA's Nations League competition five years ago and Serbia won both games. Serbia played a friendly match against the USA after the World Cup, winning 2-1, and started their campaign for Euro 2024 with an easy win over Lithuania. Montenegro surprised Bulgaria in their opening match and now will be looking to add more points. However, for this particular Montenegro vs Serbia prediction, the visiting team gets the nod because of its higher quality and current results.
Under 2.5 Goals
The two Montenegro vs Serbia matches that were played in 2018 had one match over 2.5 goals and the other below the mark by a single goal. Looking at the way Montenegro is playing recently, only one match out of their last five went over the two-and-a-half goals mark while Serbia had some great goalscoring matches, especially at the World Cup. However, the qualifiers are a different type of competition, and going for a safer approach is what it is all about. Serbia has some powerful strikers at hand and will try to dominate the proceedings with the home team playing to their strength, pushing the envelope from the defensive part of the field.
