Armenia have beaten Montenegro at home twice in a row: prediction for Armenia vs Montenegro
The UEFA Nations League second-round clash between Armenia and Montenegro will take place on September 28 at the Vazgen Sargsyan Republican Stadium. Both teams opened the tournament with victories: Armenia beat Latvia 2-0 to move top of Nations League Group C, while Montenegro edged past Cyprus 2-1.
Armenia: confident start after a prolonged slump
Following a heavy defeat to Georgia in the promotion playoff, Armenia endured a prolonged spell of instability: in their next 11 matches, the team recorded just one win, three draws and seven defeats. However, the first signs of improvement emerged in the summer, as draws with Kazakhstan and Moldova ended a run of five consecutive losses.
In the opening round of the Nations League, Yegishe Melikyan's team built on that progress with a 2-0 victory over Latvia. Georgiy Harutyunyan and Artur Garibyan scored a goal each, and Armenia can now record back-to-back wins for the first time since 2024.
Montenegro: Vučinić continues a strong run
Montenegro also opened their campaign with three points, although the match against Cyprus was far from straightforward. The team fell behind during the game, but Nikola Krstović equalized before Milutin Osmajić scored the winner in the 86th minute.
Mirko Vučinić has made a solid start to his tenure with the national team: five wins, one draw and three defeats in nine matches. The visitors have plenty of experience and quality in attack — Stevan Jovetić, Krstović and Osmajić could all feature together.
Match facts and head-to-head record
- Armenia opened the tournament with a 2-0 win over Latvia.

The hosts can once again prove difficult opponents: prediction for Armenia vs Montenegro
Both national teams received a strong boost from their opening-round victories, so there is no clear favorite here. Armenia look more confident at home and have already beaten Montenegro on their own turf twice in a row, while the visitors boast a more experienced attacking line.
This could be a tightly contested match: the hosts can cause problems through Spertsyan and their wing play, while Montenegro can respond with Krstović, Osmajić and Jovetić. Given these circumstances, a draw looks like a logical outcome.
