Football – Europe – UEFA Nations League Betting Tips
League C Group 4 provides us with an intriguing scenario as Montenegro take on Romania with both teams looking to avoid the possible relegation spot, but with the visitors also chasing possible promotion.
Let’s take a look at Montenegro first and the hosts trail Romania by two points and the pressure is on the home side to grab the three points required in order to finish up in the safety of second place. Montenegro are four points adrift of group leaders Serbia so there’s no possible chance of promotion for the hosts.
Montenegro have had a mixed Nations League campaign as they’ve picked up home and away wins over poor Lithuania but have also suffered home and away losses to Serbia. They also drew 0-0 away at Romania and now have a chance to dump Romania in relegation trouble with a win at their Stadion Pod Goricom.
Romania seemingly hold the upper hand over Montenegro despite having to make their way to Podgorica for this all-important final group match against Montenegro. The visitors hold what could prove to be an extremely valuable two-point buffer over their hosts, but they too need all three points as they look to secure an unlikely promotion at the expense of Serbia.
Romania have produced a solid display in the Nations League so far as they still remain unbeaten after the first five matches of the group stages which includes home and wins over whipping boys, Lithuania along with points against Serbia in 2-2 and 0-0 draws along with a 0-0 draw against Montenegro.
Overall, Romania are unbeaten in their last nine matches in all competitions and are unbeaten in their last four on the road although they lost 1-0 last time out at Montenegro in the World Cup qualifiers last September.
My betting tips suggest Romania are a more solid outfit nowadays and a play on the handicap looks the best option here.
