LiontipsCroatia - Montenegro: betting tip (cf 2.17) and bets on the World Cup qualification match
Command Analysis
Current form
Croatia is performing flawlessly so far in the current qualifying tournament for the World Cup. In the opening three matches, the checkers scored the maximum nine points. Special attention should be paid to the home crushing 5-1 victory over the Czech Republic, a direct competitor in the group in the fight for first place. Zlatko Dalic's team also scored a 7-0 defeat of Gibraltar on the road and a minimal 1-0 victory over the Faroe Islands on a visit. Of course, there were expectations that Victoria would be more convincing with the Faroese, but in that meeting the realization failed: 26 shots on goal, eight of them on target, but scored only one goal. Despite the maximum nine points scored, the Croats are only in second place in the group. The leading Czech Republic has 12 points, but they played two more matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kovacic, Matanovic and Guardiola are injured and cannot help their national team today.
Interesting betting trends
- In three matches in a row, the Croatian national team won in the first half.
- Checkers won three of the four previous victories with a dry score.
Approximate line–up: Livakovic - Juranovic, Pongracic, Shutalo, Sosa – Pasalic, P. Sucic – Baturina, Kramaric, Fruc - Budimir.
Current form
Montenegro scored two expected victories over Gibraltar (3:1) and the Faroe Islands (1:0) at the start of the qualifying tournament. Then there were two matches with the Czech Republic, in which they failed to score a single point: both on the road and at home, Robert Prosinechka's team lost with the same score. 0:2. There is a high probability that it will not be possible to compete with the Czechs and Croats in the fight for the first two places in the table. In fact, a defeat today will deprive the Montenegrins of a real chance of reaching the final of the World Cup.
Disqualifications and injuries
The injured list of the Montenegro national team includes Marusic, Radunovic, Osmaic.

7.40Tip and bets
The Montenegrins couldn't do anything against the Czech Republic, they lost in two matches without scoring a single goal. Nevertheless, the level of the squad does not allow them to compete on equal terms with strong European national teams. Croatia is flawlessly conducting the current qualifying cycle, scoring the maximum nine points in three games. Yes, it was not possible to beat the Faroe Islands with a convincing score, but there were plenty of chances in that meeting to score more than one goal, it is unlikely that the checkers would allow themselves such a weak realization for the second time in a row. We expect the Croats to score another three points on their own field today without any problems.
Our betting tip is that Croatia will win with an Asian handicap (-2) for a coefficient of 2.17
Bet on the total
Montenegro failed to open the Czech Republic's defense once in two matches. We do not think that the Croatian national team will be able to score, there is little success in attack. Plus, Livakovic is an experienced draughtsman in the goal, and the Croats scored two of their three wins in the qualifying tournament with a dry score.
The second bet is that Montenegro will not score with a coefficient of 1.65
Betting on corners
Croatia will habitually play number one on its own field, and will spend a lot of time at other people's gates. With a high degree of probability, you should expect a lot of corners from the hosts. It should be noted that in six of the last eight home matches in the qualification for the World Cup, checkers played at least seven innings from the corner flag.
The betting tip is that Croatia's total corners are more than 6.5 with a coefficient of 1.75
