Montenegro staged an impressive comeback on Match day 1 of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers in Europe to beat Latvia 2-1 and avoid a big upset away in Riga. Stevan Jovetic popped up with a brace to save Montenegro blushes. In a Group G that also has Turkey, Norway and the Netherlands, it would have been calamitous to lose to Latvia. That is now behind them and they’re focused on hosting Gibraltar on Match Day 2. The two nations are 132 places apart on FIFA rankings, with Montenegro in 63rd place. The goal conceded in Latvia denied them a fourth straight clean sheet but they should be pleased with Jovetic’s scoring form, the Monaco man having netted thrice in the last two matches. Montenegro are unbeaten in four matches and in the last 10, they have one six wins and a loss. They’ve scored two or more goals in five of their last 10 matches while in their last seven home matches, they have three wins and a loss. Still at home, they’ve won three of their last five World Cup qualification matches and scored in four of the last five a total of 11 goals while conceding four.

Gibraltar are ranked 195th making them one of the lowest placed to be contesting for a place at the 2022 World Cup in Europe. They are coming from a 3-0 home loss at the hands of Norway and it is already downhill for them, given their poor record in World Cup qualifiers. Gibraltar have no win in their last four matches and the wins over Liechtenstein and San Marino are their only victories in the last 19 matches, 15 of which have ended in losses. They’ve failed to score in three of their last five matches and conceded two or more goals in six of their last 10 matches. Gibraltar have scored in just one of their last 10 away matches and kept only two clean sheets in the process. They have played 11 World Cup qualification matches in their history and lost each one of them. In their five away matches in World Cup qualifiers, Gibraltar have scored one goal and conceded 25.
