Match Prediction by tutsport.net
Although Croatia is the clear favorite, the trip to Podgorica is never an easy ride. Montenegro, as hosts and in a heated derby, is capable of taking points from any giant.
- Main Prediction: Croatia to Win. Despite all the difficulties, the class and individual skill of the Croatian stars should be the deciding factor.
- Total Goals Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals. Montenegro will play a closed style of football, packing their defense. It will not be easy for the Croatians to create chances. Both previous head-to-head meetings were low-scoring. A tight contest with a small number of goals is expected.
