Montenegro are perfect after three group matches and benefit from home advantage, with Jovetić, Krstović and Osmajić forming a settled front three. Armenia are on a losing run, have not scored in their last two Nations League games and are short at the back. Montenegro still lead, but the crowded schedule keeps the draw live.
Montenegro are playing their fourth match in ten days, which could reduce pressing intensity late on.
Several Montenegro defenders are unavailable and they have not kept a clean sheet, while Armenia’s creative leader Eduard Spertsyan can still change the match with an individual action.

Montenegro lead the group with three straight wins and hold a psychological edge after their dramatic 3-2 victory over Armenia just days ago. However, this is their fourth match in ten days, and key defenders Marusic and Radunovic are absent, straining squad depth. Armenia arrive on a two-match losing streak with ten players unavailable and zero away goals, but desperation in a must-win scenario could spark resistance. Montenegro remain clear favorites, though the draw risk is elevated.

Montenegro lead the group with three straight wins and beat Armenia last week through Adžić’s late winner, with Jovetić, Krstović and Osmajić still a threat. This is a fourth game in ten days, though, and Marušić, Haksabanović and the left-back options are missing. Armenia have ten absentees, have not scored in two matches and travel poorly; Spertsyan alone is unlikely to flip it. A home win is the baseline, a draw the main alternative.

Montenegro have won all three group games and edged Armenia 3-2 away with a late winner, with the Jovetic-Krstovic front line and home scoring record looking reliable. But several defenders are injured and this is a fourth game in ten days. Armenia are missing ten players and have not scored away, yet Spertsyan remains a threat. Lean home win, 2-1.
