Montenegro vs Faroe Islands Prediction
Montenegro have never qualified for the World Cup as an independent nation and are aiming to change this. The Brave Falcons are the early pacesetters and with Croatia yet to kick a ball in the qualifiers, garnering as many points on the board is crucial.
The Faroe Islands, for their part, gave a good account of themselves in a narrow defeat to the Czech Republic. They have lost their last seven games across the Euro and World Cup qualifiers, highlighting the size of the task facing them.
Montenegro are the favorites in this game and we are backing the home side to claim a comfortable win with goals at both ends.
