Montenegro

In the last round, the team defeated Gibraltar at home (3-1). This victory ended Montenegro's three-match winless streak in World Cup qualification (1 draw, 2 losses). However, fans had some anxious moments as Montenegro conceded first. The team has allowed their opponents to open the scoring in 3 of their last 4 games in this tournament.

• At least three goals have been scored in 6 of Montenegro's last 8 World Cup qualifiers.
• The team has not won at home in 5 of their last 7 World Cup qualifying matches (2 draws, 3 losses).
• Montenegro has conceded in 6 of their last 7 home matches in this tournament.

Predicted lineup for Montenegro (3-5-2)

Igor Nikic – Marko Tuki, Nikola Sipcic, Marko Vesovic – Stefan Loncar, Marko Jankovic, Driton Kamaj, Stevan Jovetic, Ognjen Gasevic – Nikola Krstovic, Stefan Mugosa.

Faroe Islands

The team started their qualifying campaign with a defeat to the Czech Republic (1-2). This marked the Faroese side's fifth consecutive loss in this tournament, with only one game in this stretch seeing them concede fewer than two goals. However, the team has scored in three consecutive World Cup qualifiers. Notably, the Faroe Islands had a longer scoring streak in World Cup qualifying at the beginning of the 21st century.

• Both teams scored in 5 of the Faroese's last 6 away World Cup qualifiers.
• The team has a five-match losing streak in away games in this tournament.
• In 6 of their last 8 away World Cup qualifiers, the team has conceded at least two goals.

Match Prediction: Montenegro vs. Faroe Islands

Montenegro ended their winless run in World Cup qualifying, but any other result against Gibraltar would have been a surprise. It should be noted that Montenegro has only two wins in their last nine matches in this tournament (3 draws, 4 losses), both against Gibraltar. Even at home, the team does not win often; the three points gained in the last round were their first in five previous home World Cup qualifiers.

The Faroe Islands have five consecutive losses in World Cup qualification, but three of those defeats were by a single goal, while they lost to Denmark and Austria by exactly two goals. However, the level of these opponents is much higher than that of Montenegro.

I believe the Faroese will put up a fight against the hosts, who do not seem formidable even for the Faroe Islands. Montenegro has played 15 official matches in the last two years and achieved only 4 victories. My prediction: Faroe Islands with a handicap (+1.5)
