Montenegro vs Georgia prediction and betting tips - June 9, 2024
One of the friendly matches on Sunday will take place in Podgorica, where the Montenegrin national team will host the debutant of the European Championships, the Georgian national team. Here's the match prediction from the Dailysports team.
Montenegro
The "Brave Falcons" seem to be performing worse and worse in each qualification for major football tournaments. Last year, in the European Championship qualifiers, Montenegro finished in third place. Hungary topped the group, while Serbia edged out the "Brave Falcons" by three points.
The situation in other groups unfolded in a way that left the "Brave Falcons" even outside the playoffs. In the spring, the team was led by Croatian Robert Prosinecki. In their first matches under his guidance, Montenegro secured victories against Belarus (2-0) and North Macedonia (1-0). Last Wednesday, Montenegro lost away to Belgium 0-2.
Georgia
The "Crusaders" participated in the Nations League, where they topped the group with Azerbaijan, Malta, and Latvia. In the European Championship qualifiers, the Georgian national team found itself in a very tough group with Spain, Scotland, and Norway. As a result, in eight matches, the Georgians won only twice and finished fourth with 8 points.
The success in the Nations League came in handy for the "Crusaders," allowing them to play in the playoffs. In the first round, Georgia defeated Luxembourg 2-0 at home, and then, also on their home turf, they advanced past the strong Greeks in a penalty shootout.
