Montenegro

LLLLLL ☠

Montenegro won’t want a repeat of their last result here after the 1-0 Nations League defeat in their last game at the hands of Wales.

In that game, Montenegro had 34% possession and 5 attempts on goal with 0 of them on target. Wales had 14 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target. Harry Wilson (36') was the scorer for Wales.

Montenegro have found it difficult to unlock defences of late. Their sum of goals stands at just 2 versus opponents during the course of their last 6 fixtures. In those games, Montenegro have also seen the tally of goals that have gone against them total 11.

Iceland

WLWLDL

Since a loss in their previous game against Turkey in Nations League competition, Iceland will be aiming to make amends here.

In that game, Iceland managed 36% possession and 12 attempts at goal with 7 of them on target. For Iceland, the scorers were Orri Steinn Óskarsson (3') and Andri Guðjohnsen (83'). At the other end, Turkey got 24 attempts at goal with 12 of them on target. İrfan Can Kahveci (62'), Hakan Çalhanoğlu (67'), Arda Güler (88') and Kerem Aktürkoğlu (95') scored for Turkey.

Showing their appetite for high-scoring matches, the back of the net has been hit 21 times in the prior six games in which Iceland have sent out their troops, yielding a mean average of 3.5 goals for each meeting. Opposition teams have got 13 from this total. However, we will just have to wait and see if that pattern shall persist in this upcoming match or not.

✨ Prediction

We’re thinking that Iceland and Montenegro should both be able to find the back of the net here although it’s difficult to select a clear winner.

A draw looks like a realistic possibility, but we’ll see what happens. We therefore think that it’s going to be a very close game with a 1-1 scoreline at full-time.
