Iceland vs Montenegro Prediction

Iceland Form

Showing inconsistent form, Iceland lost two of their past three matches, going down 2-1 against Ukraine, before beating England 0-1. The joy was short-lived, as Netherlands proved too strong in a 4-0 defeat. Iceland managed a strong return of four wins from their previous six internationals, where they also drew zero and lost two. They scored nine goals and conceded seven times.

Montenegro Form

In their last three matches, Montenegro won 1-0 win against North Macedonia, lost 2-0 against Belgium and lost 1-3 against Georgia. Montenegro managed a decent return of three wins in their last six internationals, in which they scored seven while also conceding eight times. They also experienced zero draws and three defeats.

This particular encounter between Iceland and Montenegro looks a little trickier for the favourites, than prices with the bookmakers suggest. All things considered, though, we still believe, the home side has enough about them to pull off a win on Friday.
