SERBIA v MONTENEGRO
Saturday 17th November 2018 – Kickoff: 1500hrs
Football – Europe – UEFA Nations League Betting Tips
Not only does League C Group 4 provide us with a bitter local derby between two countries that formed after the break-up of former nation, Yugoslavia, but also a top of the table clash as Serbia take on Montenegro as the betting tips continue on Saturday afternoon.
Although these two nations lie next to each other, it’s some 340 km between the two but just one point separates Serbia from Montenegro at the top of the group. Despite playing just once at home so far in their UEFA Nations League campaign, Serbia sit top of Group 4 after wins away at Lithuania and Montenegro.
The hosts have also drawn with Romania 2-2 at home and 0-0 away, but they’re expected to be facing a tough encounter this afternoon despite being at their Stadion Rajko Miti?. Serbia also haven’t been that convincing at home either in recent times as they’ve managed just one win from their last six which was a 5-1 win over Bolivia in a friendly in June.
Montenegro would love nothing more than to spoil Serbia’s party when they make their way over to Belgrade with just one point between these two nations ahead of what promises to be a monumental encounter.
The visitors have suffered just one defeat so far in their Nations League campaign which was at home against tonight’s opponents, Serbia, but home and away wins over bottom nation, Lithuania, along with a draw away at Romania have pushed Montenegro into second place and possible promotion to League B.
Montenegro have lost just twice in their last nine matches on their travels, and come into this clash with a four match unbeaten run – three of which ended in stalemates.
My betting tips suggest the value play here is to back the draw at half-time.
