Serbia take on the visitors Montenegro in the round 8 match of group stage of UEFA Euro-2024 qualification. The match will be played on Tuesday, October 17th at Stadion Rajko Mitić (Belgrade).
Serbia is attempting to restore its faltering prestige. The Eagles appointed Dragan Stojković as the head coach after their failure in the previous European Championship qualification. Stojković had little relevant experience, and it was primarily in Asia. However, Piksi is a legendary, even cult-like former footballer, and perhaps his childhood hero status helped him unite the team. As a result, the Southern Eagles had an excellent stretch, outperforming Portugal in World Cup qualification and winning their UEFA Nations League group. However, they experienced the familiar setback at the World Cup in Qatar, earning only one point in three matches. Nevertheless, the coaching staff remained, and the national team started the qualification campaign with a victory. Their winning streak did not last long, though; they failed to defeat Bulgaria in June and were defeated by Hungary in September. The October round began with another loss, 1-2.

Montenegro is having a decent qualifying campaign for themselves. The Brave Falcons are a relatively young national team. However, they've already been through one qualification cycle, and it's becoming clear that, despite some decent players, led by Jovetić, the team has its limitations, and they are not particularly high. Currently, the majority of their points, 6 out of 7, have been earned against an even weaker neighbor, Bulgaria. They also managed to hold Hungary to a draw. However, there were 2-2 draws with Lithuania, an underdog, and a loss to Serbia. They recently played a friendly match against Lebanon, winning 3-2.
In previous matches in 2018, these neighbors played in the UEFA Nations League. Both matches resulted in victories for the favorites, Serbia. The hosts need a victory, and they should gather themselves and secure it, even with a -1 goal handicap.
Prediction for the match: Serbia to win with -1.0 handicap.
