Montenegro vs Iceland Prediction

Montenegro Form

Montenegro have had to endure a tough spell in their last three matches, from which they have nothing to show. They were beaten 1-2 by Wales, before Turkey ran out 1-0 winners. A third defeat on the trot followed against Wales, who came out 1-0 winners. Montenegro didn't win any of their last six internationals. They came through these games with a record of zero draws and six defeats, in which they conceded 11 and scored two goals.

Iceland claimed two wins against one draw and three defeats in their last six internationals. The scoreline from these matches reads 13 goals conceded and eight scored.

Everyone enters the Nations League B hoping to achieve at least something, but Montenegro have seen nothing but disappointment so far. They failed to pick up even a single point, but surely, they'd like to save a bit a face. Iceland delivered some rather mediocre results so far in the Nations League B. As they enter their penultimate group match on four points, they know they most likely need three points to stay in the race for the next round.

Montenegro and Iceland looks like an equal match, and it is difficult to separate one from the other currently, which makes the draw seem worth a punt.
