Croatia are preparing for their closing Group L match, away to Montenegro in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. The two nations have nothing but pride to play for with all settled in the group. Let’s have a look at the prediction for the match.
For Montenegro it has been another sobering campaign. Their wait for a place in a major tournament will be extended as they aren’t capable of finishing higher than third.
Two straight wins ahead of the game are a sign of improvement, as that was preceded by a five-game winless run. Their latest outing ended in a 2-1 win away to Gibraltar.
The challenge gets tougher when Croatia comes to town. The visitors have already claimed an unassailable lead at the group summit and have nothing more to play for.
In beating the Faroe Islands 3-1, Croatia hit multiple highs. They are unbeaten in their last seven matches and have only lost once in the latest 10.
Croatia’s form away from home hasn’t been the best, and this will present a chance to improve. They managed just two wins in the last eight matches on the road.
The Croats drawing 0-0 with the Czech Republic in their last away game means they’ve failed to score for the fourth time in their last eight games on the road.

Our Montenegro vs Croatia Prediction
This is a dead rubber affair; not much will come out of it with the two nations having achieved all they can. Croatia may use it to try and improve on their away form, which currently stands at three undefeated. Meanwhile, Montenegro also hopes to improve on their three losses in the last six competitive home games.
However, one stat that has stood out for both nations is in the goals market. It has been rare to see goals on both sides, and the same is likely for a game that has no big reward. Our prediction for Montenegro v Croatia is BTTS: No.
