vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Montenegro come off a 2-2 away draw against Slovakia, preceded by a 1-0 away win against Bulgaria; further back a 2-3 defeat against Slovenia, a 2-0 win against Andorra, another 2-3 defeat against Croatia and, further back still, a 2-1 away win against Gibraltar. Cyprus come off a 2-0 away win against Liechtenstein, preceded by a 1-1 away draw against Slovenia; further back a 3-2 win against Moldova and three defeats, 0-1 against Belarus, 2-4 against Estonia and 0-2 against Austria. In the meetings between the two nations Montenegro have won the last two, a 4-0 home win in 2020 and a 2-0 away win the same year (played on the opposite ground to this match), with a 0-0 draw, also on the opposite ground, further back. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
