Our model leans towards a Montenegro win
Our model leans narrowly towards a Montenegro win for this second round meeting. Armenia bring defensive stability into the match following their 2-0 shutout against Latvia, supported by their record of one win from one home game in the tournament. However, Montenegro match them on three points after scoring twice against Cyprus, giving the visitors a slight advantage in our model's assessment despite playing away from home.
