Croatia vs Montenegro prediction
Under the management of Zlatko Dalic, the Croatians come into this one on the back of a slender 1-0 defeat of the Faroe Islands in the Faroese capital city of Torshavn the other day, courtesy of a 31st minute winner scored by Andrej Kramaric. That means they have collected nine points from their opening three matches.
They now face a Montenegro side that have managed two victories and two defeats in their four matches thus far. The Montenegrins most recently suffered a 2-0 defeat at home to Czechia at the Podgorica City Stadium the other day, thanks to goals from Lukas Cerv and Vaclav Cerny.
Montenegro have often been competitive at times in the last year or so, but this is a major mis-match and the Croats should win quite comfortably having rediscovered some good form.
Croatia vs Montenegro tip: Croatia to win -1 handicap
