Command Analysis
Montenegro
MontenegroCurrent form
Montenegro has not scored a single point in four rounds played and is in last place in the table. The team total losing streak has reached six matches. It cannot be said that Robert Prosinečki team is frankly failing in every game, the players are fighting, they have lost in the last three matches with a difference of only one goal, but in general, the team is not up to the level of Turkey and Wales. At the same time, the Montenegrins lost to Iceland away in the first round with a score of 0:2. Only two victories in the remaining rounds will allow Montenegro to count on maintaining its place in League B.

Iceland
IcelandCurrent form
Iceland is firmly holding third place in the group with four points. It is highly likely that the team will finish in this position, as the gap to second-placed Wales is four points. The Icelanders won their only victory in the tournament in the opening round on their home field against Montenegro (2:0). Later, they managed to take points from Wales also on their home field (2:2).

11.00Tip and bets
Montenegrins need only a win, they have nothing to lose, the hosts will obviously go on the attack with great force from the first minutes. Icelanders are always ready to support such open football, considering that in the last three matches of the national team at least four goals were scored. We believe that bookmakers somewhat underestimate the probability of the "top" in the total in this pair.
Our prediction is total over 2.5 goals with odds of 2.22

Montenegro has not scored a single point in four rounds, and its overall losing streak has reached six matches. It is unlikely that it will be able to break the losing streak in the confrontation with the stubborn Icelanders today.
Second bet - Iceland will not lose with odds of 1.61
