Netherlands vs Montenegro Prediction and Betting Tips (05.09.2021)

Command Analysis

Netherlands

The Netherlands got into a very interesting group. After the first four games, all the teams still have a chance to qualify. The competition is close and every point is precious.

The Dutch started with a defeat from Turkey in the first round (2:4), after which the team was heavily criticized. The Flying Dutchmenbounced back in the following rounds, making a short work of Latvia (2:0) and devastating Gibraltar (7:0).

At Euro 2020, Frank De Boer's charges got into the knockout rounds and immediately were eliminated by the Czech Republic (0:2). This was the main reason for the resignation of De Boer. He was replaced by Louis van Gaal. Under the leadership of the new manager, the Dutch drew with Norway in the previous qualifying match (1:1).

Montenegro

The Brave Falcons were quite lucky with their first opponents in the qualification for the 2022 World Cup. In the first game, they beat Latvia (1:2) and then left no chance for Gibraltar (4:1).

Montenegro hosted Norway in the third qualifying game. The hosts looked good in attack, but the opponent controlled the ball. The guests had few scoring chances, but they only needed one goal to get the victory over the Brave Falcons (0:1).

Miodrag Radulovic's men had more tough opponents to face. The crucial game against Turkey in Istanbul ended in a draw and brought a necessary point (2:2). And now they travel to the Netherlands to fight for the leadership in group G.

The support of the stands will give them confidence, and we believe that the Dutch will earn three points in this fixture.
