Serbia vs Montenegro Predictions
- Serbia have won all three previous games against Montenegro, two with clean sheets
- Montenegro have failed to score in five of their last ten away qualifying matches
- Aleksandar Mitrovic has scored in seven of his last 12 national team games and was denied twice by close offside flags against Hungary on Saturday
Serbia can see off Montenegrin challenge
Serbia have been counting themselves unlucky in the way of Saturday’s 2-1 loss in Hungary which means they have to beat Montenegro to stay on track for qualification from Group G.
Dragan Stojkovic’s side hit the woodwork twice and had two goals chalked off for close offside decisions in Budapest while Hungary’s winner was the sort of wonder strike that finishes in the stands more often than it hits the target.
Serbia certainly created plenty of chances without injured forward Dusan Vlahovic with Aleksandar Mitrovic providing his usual totemic influence on their play.
Visitors to face intimidating Marakana
There will be plenty of tension around Tuesday’s clash at the Marakana, but Serbia have the experience to handle the pressure and should come through with the win they need. Montenegro are not a young team either, with perhaps only one of their likely starters on Tuesday under the age of 27, but they may not have the big-game experience to cope.
In an intimidating atmosphere, it is much easier to side with the Serbs than a Montenegro team that has totted up 14 yellow cards and a red in their first five qualifiers.
A 2-0 success, which has been the outcome in two of the three previous meetings between these Balkan neighbours, is the most likely outcome on the correct score front.
