Iceland vs Montenegro Prediction & Betting Tips (6 September)

Stunning during Euro 2016 in France and present at the 2018 World Cup in Russia, Iceland subsequently ran out of steam and was no longer able to participate in major competitions like the Euro or the World Cup. During the last qualifiers for Euro 2024, the Icelanders were not far from qualifying, ultimately losing in the play-off final against Sweden on neutral ground 2-1. This Nations League will allow Iceland to find itself and perform again. In June, the Vikings played two friendly matches against England and the Netherlands. If against the Three Lions, the result was positive 0-1 victory, the music was not the same against the Dutch with a heavy defeat 4-0.

Montenegro is a notch below average at European level and at Iceland at the same time. During the Euro 2024 qualifiers, the Montenegrins obtained 3rd place in their group behind Serbia and Hungary who appeared as the two ultimate candidates for qualification since behind them were Bulgaria and Lithuania, two very close opponents. weak all the same. No European Championship therefore, nor World Cup in its history, Montenegro lost two friendly matches in June against Belgium 2-0 and Willy Sagnol's Georgia 1-3.
