Montenegro host Armenia in the UEFA Nations League. Montenegro have been winning fairly regularly in their recent outings, while Armenia have found life tougher, stuck in a run of draws and defeats.
Both sides have shown they can be got at defensively, with goals flowing in games on both ends of the pitch lately. Their head-to-head record stretches back a decade without either team really taking control of the fixture.

Armenia's form reads differently. Just one win in their last six, with three draws and two losses, including a heavy 5-2 defeat to Kosovo. They did beat Latvia in their most recent match, so there's something to build on.
On recent numbers, Montenegro look the more reliable of the two sides.

A head-to-head that swings both ways
These two have met four times in the sample we have, going back to a 2016 World Cup qualifier that Armenia won 3-2 at home. Montenegro answered the following year with a 4-1 win in the return fixture.

More recently, Armenia edged a 2022 friendly 1-0 on home soil, before the sides shared a 2-2 draw in a friendly last June. Home advantage has mattered a lot in this fixture historically, though last time out neither side could find a winner.
Both teams have tended to win their own meetings, until last year's draw broke that pattern.
Goals could well be on the cards again
Neither side has been shutting up shop lately. Montenegro have scored 13 and conceded 9 across their last seven games, while Armenia have shipped 11 in six, including that 5-2 loss to Kosovo and a 1-2 defeat to Belarus.
The head-to-head history backs that up too. Three of the last four meetings have produced at least three goals, including a 4-1 and a 3-2. A tight, low-scoring game doesn't look like the obvious script here.

There's no clear market to build a case around for this one, so we're happy to sit it out for now.
Montenegro's recent form gives them a slight edge on paper, but the history between these two shows how quickly that can flip, and goals at both ends look a reasonable expectation whatever happens.
Who will win?
