Montenegro vs Croatia Prediction: Can the Hosts Upset the Odds?

If you’re searching for the best Montenegro vs Croatia prediction ahead of their World Cup Qualification Europe match on November 17, 2025, you’ve landed in the right spot. Let’s break down everything you need to know before you think about betting odds, total goals, or which team to back. This one has all the ingredients for a memorable night in Podgorica, even if the script seems already written in favor of the visitors.

Team News, Form, and Tactics: All Eyes on Podgorica

Montenegro and Croatia could hardly be heading into this game in more different moods. The home side, led by Mirko Vucinic, are out of the qualification race, but they’re still looking to finish with pride in front of their fans. Their campaign has been a rollercoaster, with three wins and four defeats from seven matches. Defensive issues have been their Achilles’ heel, conceding an average of two per game. Still, recent home form offers a glimmer of hope—two wins from three on their own patch.

On the other hand, Croatia have already wrapped up top spot in Group L. Zlatko Dalić’s men are unbeaten in their last 16 World Cup qualifiers and have been ruthless in front of goal, netting three or more in five of their seven matches. Their last meeting with Montenegro ended in a 4-0 stroll, and the head to head stats are firmly in their favor.

Key Players and Injuries

Montenegro: Missing defensive anchor Stefan Savic through injury, with Risto Radunovic also a doubt. The likes of Nikola Krstovic (Atalanta) and Vasilije Adzic (Juventus) will carry the attacking hopes, while veteran Stevan Jovetic adds experience up front.
Croatia: No Ante Budimir, Mateo Kovacic, or Nikola Vlasic, but the midfield still boasts the evergreen Luka Modric. Andrej Kramaric is on fire with six goals in his last five qualifiers, and Petar Musa is another threat. At the back, Josko Gvardiol and Duje Caleta-Car provide steel and composure.

Tactical Approaches

Montenegro: Expect a compact, defensive setup. They’ll look to frustrate Croatia and strike on the counter, hoping to catch the visitors napping.
Croatia: Will dominate possession (projected 68%), dictate the tempo, and use their technical midfield to break down Montenegro’s resistance.

Montenegro vs Croatia Prediction: What Do the Numbers Say?

Let’s get nerdy with the stats and betting odds. The away win is heavily favored at 1.593, while a home win would be a real shocker at 6.9. Even the draw looks unlikely at 4.6. Our AI tipsters and the NerdyTips algorithm both agree: the best 1x2 bet is on Croatia, with trust scores of 6.9 and 7.0 out of 10, respectively.

Market Value: Croatia’s squad is worth a whopping €282.20m compared to Montenegro’s €58.28m. That’s a gulf in resources you can’t ignore.
Predicted Score: The AI expects a 0:3 win for Croatia, with a 0:1 lead at halftime. The total goals prediction is over 2.5, though that comes with a more cautious trust score of 3.7.
Match Stats: Croatia are tipped to rack up 21 shots (seven on target) and nine corners, compared to Montenegro’s eight shots and three corners. In terms of discipline, expect two yellows for the hosts and none for the visitors.

Interesting Facts and Final Thoughts

This is only the second ever meeting between these two teams in World Cup qualifying.
Montenegro have gone 17 games without a draw—a stat that makes the 1x2 betting market even more interesting.
Croatia haven’t lost in their last seven matches, and their only previous trip to Podgorica ended in a convincing win.

So, what’s the best Montenegro vs Croatia prediction for this one? All signs point to an away win. Croatia have the form, the squad depth, and the motivation to finish their group campaign in style. Montenegro will fight, but the gap in quality and experience is just too big to ignore. If you’re betting, Croatia to win at 1.593 looks like the smart play, and don’t be surprised if the total goals go over 2.5. Just don’t expect a fairy tale for the home side this time.
