Montenegro take on the visitors Georgia in a Friendly International match. The match will be played on Sunday, June 9th at Stadion Pod Goricom (Podgorica).
Montenegro misses another major tournament. Montenegro national team missed out on another major tournament, finishing only third in their Euro 2024 qualifying group. While they managed to surpass Lithuania and Bulgaria, they ultimately lost to Serbia (1-3) and Hungary (1-3) in the final stretch, falling short in the competition with the Serbians for the second-place spot. In the most recent Nations League, Montenegro's performance was underwhelming, securing only two wins in six rounds. They didn't even secure a spot in the playoffs for a chance to qualify for the Euros. After the qualification phase, the team predictably lost a friendly match against Belgium (0-2), but managed to defeat Belarus and North Macedonia.

Georgia is currently stronger than Belarus and North Macedonia. Unlike the aforementioned teams, Georgia has made significant strides, as evidenced by their historic qualification for the Euros. Although they didn't secure their spot through the main qualifying rounds, finishing only fourth in their group, they succeeded in the mini-playoff. The Georgians first overcame a resilient Luxembourg team (2-0), a team that has been steadily improving year after year. They then pushed the Greeks to a penalty shootout, where they emerged victorious. In my view, in the upcoming friendly against Montenegro, Willy Sagnol's Georgia squad is capable of avoiding defeat.
Georgia is improving each year, while Montenegro seems to have stagnated in their development. At the moment, in my humble opinion, these teams are of roughly the same caliber. Therefore, covering two out of the three likely outcomes of their encounter with a bet on a double chance for Georgia (X2) seems like a reasonable option. I believe Georgia won't lose this match, aiming to head to the Euros in good spirits. Additionally, Montenegro is unlikely to exert maximum effort to secure a victory in a simple friendly match. My prediction is a double chance for Georgia (X2).
Prediction for the match: Georgia not to lose (X2).
