Serbia vs Montenegro Prediction 17.10.2023

• Competition: EURO Qualification
• Date: 17.10.2023
• Kickoff: 19:45 UTC +1 / 20:45 CEST
• Venue: Stadion Rajko Mitic (Beograd) 

Following yet another disappointing outcome, Serbia’s uncertainty regarding their placement at EURO 2024 has intensified after a 2-1 defeat to Hungary in Budapest. Just like in their initial encounter with Hungary, Serbia’s defense once again demonstrated its weakness. Currently, Serbia holds 10 points, which is 2 points ahead of their opponent in this match, Montenegro. However, it’s worth noting that Montenegro has played one fewer match.

In their initial term of qualification matches, Montenegro did not participate. However, they engaged in a friendly match against Lebanon and emerged victorious with a score of 3-2. Prior to this, they triumphed over Bulgaria in September, putting them in a position to potentially challenge Serbia for the 2nd place spot. Although Montenegro experienced a routine defeat in their first encounter against Serbia, significant changes have taken place, and if they perform at a superior level, any outcome is within reach.

Serbia vs Montenegro pick: UNDER 3.5 GOALS

This round of qualifications features an undoubtedly fascinating duel. Montenegro, with everything to gain and a need for a positive outcome, must consider that a draw could still work in their favor if they defeat Hungary in the final round. On the other hand, Serbia finds themselves in an unpleasant position, but their superior quality gives them an advantage. Anticipate a challenging match from both teams, where the goal count should not exceed 2 or 3. Hence, placing a bet on under 3.5 goals seems appropriate for this game.
