Montenegro have already secured promotion: Cyprus vs Montenegro prediction
The race for top spot in the group is already over, but Cyprus and Montenegro’s final clash promises to be fiercely contested. On November 15, 2026, at Alphamega Stadium, the hosts will look to beat Montenegro for the first time in their history. Mirko Vučinić’s side top League C Group 2 with 13 points and have already secured automatic promotion to League B. Cyprus have eight points, guaranteeing second place and a spot in the promotion play-offs.
Cyprus: unbeaten run boosts confidence
Cyprus have bounced back impressively from their opening 2-1 defeat to Montenegro. Akis Mantzios’s side drew 0-0 with Latvia before beating Armenia 2-0 and Latvia 2-1 in back-to-back games. In their previous outing, they shared the points with Armenia in a 1-1 draw, extending their unbeaten run to four matches.
The hosts have already secured a place in the play-offs but will be eager to finish the group stage with a win. Suspended Kostas Pileas will once again be unavailable. However, Marcus Edwards, who has scored twice in five appearances for the national team, and Iasonas Pikis, who found the net on his debut against Armenia, are both available.
Montenegro: group leaders extend unbeaten run
Montenegro have enjoyed a strong Nations League campaign, recording four wins and one draw. Mirko Vučinić’s side beat Cyprus 2-1 and Armenia 3-2, as well as defeating Latvia twice, 2-1 on both occasions. Their only dropped points came in a goalless home draw with Armenia.
Thanks to their strong results, the Brave Falcons have secured an early return to League B. The team will be without Stefan Savić in the final round after he was sent off in their previous match. However, the attack retains its key players: Milutin Osmajić and Nikola Krstović have scored 21 goals between them for the national team.

Hosts can halt visitors’ winning run: Cyprus vs Montenegro prediction
Montenegro have been the more consistent side and boast a potent attack, but they have already achieved their main objective in the group. Cyprus have also secured second place, yet home advantage should help the hosts make this a contest.
Both teams come into the match in good form and are capable of creating dangerous chances. With little at stake in the standings, a closely fought encounter with goals at both ends looks the likeliest outcome.
