Armenia vs Montenegro: Preview and Prediction

Armenia vs Montenegro
FIFA World Cup 2018 – European Qualifiers (Group E)
Date: Friday, 11th November 2016
Kick-off at 17:00 UK
Venue: Hanrapetakan Stadium, Yerevan, Armenia.

Group E leaders Montenegro will be looking to extend their unbeaten run with a win over bottom placed Armenia on Friday evening. Montenegro has 7 points and have Poland and Romania breathing down their necks, so something is needed from this match.

The visitors have conceded just 1 goal from their opening 3 games and have scored 7 in that time. They have won their last 2 games but away from home have recorded losses this year to both Turkey and Greece.

Armenia has had a nightmare start to their group campaign and they have lost 4 matches in a row. In their last home match they were beaten 5-0 by Romania. This game will be Armenia’s last chance to try and salvage something from a group that seems to have deserted them.

Armenia vs Montenegro: Prediction

Even though Montenegro has the form and better quality of squad the betting is open on this match. Montenegro are the favourites to win and they impressed in their last away match beating Denmark 1-0. Their base plan has been working on defense and it’s difficult even if they are at home to see Armenia breaking them.

We should see a fascinating game based on the counter attack for both sides and both coaches will be packing the midfield. The draw no bet could be the way to go for the visitors ensuring we have some insurance on what could be a much tighter game than some expect.
