Montenegro vs Netherlands Predictions and Betting Tips
The Podgorica City Stadium is the stage for this highly-anticipated encounter in the UEFA World Cup Qualifiers as Montenegro and the Netherlands lock horns in Group G. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.
The Dutch national team were heads and shoulders above their opponents as we saw them net four unanswered goals when both sides met back in September.
The Dutch keen on stretching winning run
Montenegro head into this November international break six points behind Norway who are in the playoffs spot and although math says they could still secure second place for themselves, it's a tad bit unrealistic given the circumstances. We've seen Radulovic pick up 11 points from their first eight games, netting 11 and conceding the same amount of goals. Their most recent loss to Norway pretty much sealed their fate, that 2-0 loss-making sure that they most likely would wait four more years before they could once again endeavour to qualify for a World Cup.
The Netherlands didn't have to best start to these qualifiers, losing their first group game to Turkey. However, we've seen them go on to pick up nineteen points from the next seven matches which have propelled them to the summit of Group G. It is also to be noted that they head into this game having won all of their last four qualifiers matches, the most recent being the 6-0 thrashing of Gibraltar in the final match of the October international break. Would we see them make it five wins on the bounce this weekend ?
