Football Livescore | Match Prediction & Tips
------------------------------
Montenegro host Croatia in their final Group L match, aiming to close a tough qualifying campaign on a brighter note. Croatia, already through to the 2026 World Cup, arrive looking to cap off an impressive run. The contrast sets up a match where pride drives the hosts and momentum fuels the visitors.
Team Analysis:
Montenegro have shown flashes of promise at home but remain inconsistent and defensively vulnerable, leaving them stuck in fourth with no path to progress. Croatia, meanwhile, have dominated Group L with an unbeaten run, a huge goal difference, and their World Cup spot already secured. With Croatia’s form and the 4–0 result from the reverse fixture, the gap in quality between the teams is clear heading into this final match.
Player Situation:
Montenegro are likely to make a few adjustments, with Marko Perovic potentially starting at left-back and their midfield and strike duo expected to remain unchanged. Their defence should stay mostly intact, though Marko Tuci plays under a yellow-card risk. Croatia, already qualified, may stick with the same lineup, with Luka Modric still pulling the strings despite Mateo Kovacic’s continued absence.
Result Prediction:
Croatia have been on a different level all campaign, showing superiority across the pitch. Montenegro might keep things tight early with the boost of playing at home, but the gap in quality is hard to ignore. In the end, Croatia’s firepower and control should see them cruise to a comfortable win.
Predicted Result: Montenegro 0-3 Croatia.
