Will the hosts manage to earn at least one point?
When it comes to placing a bet on Friday’s match between Gibraltar and Montenegro, the odds clearly favor the visitors. They already won the first leg, but for Gibraltar, this could be their chance to earn their first point in this qualifying round.
In World Cup qualifying group L, Gibraltar is in last place with zero points. Montenegro has already won two games, but with six points before the penultimate match day, they also have no chance of qualifying for the World Cup.
The question is whether Gibraltar can possibly get its first point. That would certainly be a success, as the team has only scored two goals in six games so far.
At least mathematically, Montenegro could still draw level with the Faroe Islands, but for that to happen, its opponent would not only have to lose its last two games, but Montenegro would also have to win both of its games. This may be possible against Gibraltar, but on the last matchday they face Croatia, making a second win very unlikely.
A glance at the Gibraltar vs. Montenegro odds shows that the hosts will enter the pitch as clear favorites. A win for the visitors is likely. Gibraltar has lost its previous six qualifying games, scoring only two goals in the process. They also lost two friendly games in September and October.
The tip could go to an away win with more than 2.5 goals scored. Gibraltar has conceded an average of over three goals per game so far. In addition, the xG value for the visitors is 3.98. The corresponding tip can be played at Betano at odds of 1.78 with three units.
Gibraltar – Montenegro Head-to-head comparison / H2H record
These two teams have had the pleasure of playing each other three times so far. The games are all from the recent past. The two teams also met in the last World Cup qualifiers. In three matches so far, Montenegro has won three times. This is in line with the current Gibraltar vs. Montenegro betting odds.
Montenegro won the first leg 3-1 at home in March. It was one of two victories Montenegro managed to secure in this qualifying round. If Gibraltar wants to score points, Friday is their best chance, as they will be playing against Czechia on Monday.
Gibraltar – Montenegro Tip
A win for the visitors is very likely. Although there is nothing at stake for either side, this could make for an open game with a few goals. An away win with over 2.5 goals is therefore a possible tip.
Those who simply want to bet on an away win will not get high odds, so it is hardly worth placing a bet.
After four consecutive defeats, the Montenegro players will also want to prove themselves. Mirko Vucinic has been the new team manager since September 19.
After the 0-4 defeat against the Faroe Islands, Montenegro at least won the friendly against Liechtenstein and must be considered the stronger team for Friday. Gibraltar remains the underdog.
If you want to place a bet, you can definitely target the goals. You can do this directly with a bet on over 3.5 goals or with a handicap bet, whereby Montenegro could manage to make up a 2-goal handicap.
