Open poll and resultsMontenegro vs Latvia prediction
A whopping nine points separates these two nations in their group, with Montenegro on the verge of promotion to League B and Latvia already out of contention. Across four rounds of fixtures, Montenegro are yet to lose, winning three and drawing one. Latvia, on the otherhand, have lost three of four games, with their only point coming in a goalless draw against Cyprus.
It's worth noting that despite their rotten campaign, Latvia haven't conceded many goals, only two more than their opponents here. However, Montenegro boast an attack with far more potency and cutting edge. That extra class should tell over the course of 90 minutes.
There's no doubt the hosts are big favourites, and as long as they keep their composure and treat the visitors with respect, the outcome will surely be three more points for Montenegro.
