Greece vs Montenegro Betting Tips & Predictions

Euro 2004 Champions Greece will be spectators this summer when the European Championships hit France and they never came close to qualifying after an embarrassing qualifying campaign which included 2 defeats to the Faroes. Michael Skibbe is trying to repair the damage but has resisted the urge to make sweeping changes here naming just 3 uncapped players in the squad for their first game since a 0-0 draw in Turkey in a November friendly. Greece have only won one match since their penalty shoot-out defeat to Costa Rica in the 2014 World Cup.

Montenegro are also going through a tricky patch. The expanded European Championships was supposed to offer them a good chance of making the finals given they had finished in the top 3 in recent qualifying tournaments but they failed to perform in the Euro 2016 qualifiers taking just 11 points from their 10 games with 10 of them coming from games with Moldova and Liechtenstein. Since then they have played 1 match which was a crushing 4-1 defeat in a friendly against Balkan neighbours Macedonia.

Greece’s horrendous record over the past 2 years though means you can’t confidently back them at odds on here. There is likely to be a very small crowd for this game and judging by the 1-0 defeat to Luxembourg in Skibbe’s first game in charge he has a long way to go to transform this side’s fortunes. There is enough quality in this Montenegro side to suggest they can get a result here so consider backing Montenegro Double Chance at 11/10.
