2.55Tip and bets
It is unlikely that Montenegro will manage to take points from Wales in this matchup. The British squad has made a strong start to the tournament and is competing for the top spot, while the visitors find themselves as clear underdogs. On their home turf, the Balkans lost to the Welsh, so it's hard to believe that the outcome will be different in an away game.
Our prediction is a victory for Wales at 1.62
Total Goals Bet
The home team has scored two goals in their last two matches and is unlikely to change their strategy against the group’s bottom team. The visitors also need a win to try and escape last place. A thrilling match is expected for the fans.
Prediction – total over 2.5 goals with odds of 2.20
Corner Kicks Bet
Given that we anticipate an open match, it makes sense to bet on a significant number of corner kicks produced by both teams.
Prediction – total over 8.5 corner kicks with odds of 1.80
