The Turkish national team finds itself in a relatively easy group, where it was initially viewed as the primary favorite. So far, Vincenzo Montella's squad is living up to that reputation, leading the group with four points. However, there isn’t a significant advantage over its rivals—Wales trails only on tiebreakers, while Iceland is just one point behind, and these contenders will face off today.

Montenegro
Current Form
The Montenegro national team was considered a top candidate for relegation from Division B even before the group stage began and that status remains unchallenged. In their opening match, Robert Prosinečki’s team suffered a 0-2 defeat to Iceland, and in their second group match, they fought hard at home against Wales but ultimately lost 1-2. As it stands, Montenegro sits at the bottom of the group without any points.

2.85Tip and bets
The Turkish national team has already dropped points in the opening match, so there's no room for error today - only a victory will suffice for the hosts. It’s clear that securing three points for the Luna Stars should not be a challenge, as Montenegro significantly lacks in player quality and has not delivered strong performances in recent games. We can reasonably expect a convincing win for the favorites.
We believe the visitors have no chance. Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1.5) on Turkey. This outcome is offered at odds of 1.95.
Betting on Total Goals
The Turkish national team plays boldly at home and tends to score plenty of goals, so today we can expect some from them. Montenegro has not shown much defensive reliability lately. Furthermore, the visitors have also committed numerous mistakes near their own goal, having managed to keep a clean sheet only once in their last eight matches. It's likely that they will take risks, and a goal from them wouldn't be a major surprise.
Bet Recommendation – Both Teams to Score. This bet is available at odds of 2.07.
Betting on Corners
The Turkish team is the favorite and is expected to dominate the entire match, leading to a comfortable win on corner kicks.
Bet Recommendation – Asian Handicap (-3) on Corners for Turkey. This bet is offered at 1.79.
