Montenegro v Poland Betting Preview – World Cup 2018 Qualifiers 26th March
Group E of World Cup qualifying from UEFA sees a three way chase going on for second spot at the moment. Poland are leading the way in the group, but they face second placed Montenegro in what should be a pretty entertaining match up. The incentive is there for the home side to push for three points to put some pressure on the leaders. With Denmark and Romania breathing down their necks as well, Montenegro can’t afford to let things slip on home soil in this important match up for them. The pressure is starting to mount.

Montenegro v Poland Betting Tips
Will Montenegro be able to pull out a big result in this match? A win would put them level on points with group leaders Poland and at the halfway stage of World Cup 2018 qualifying, that would be huge for them. They are in a tight race for second place with Denmark just one point behind and Romania just the two points back. This will be Montenegro’s second home game of qualifying only so far and they won that other game 5-0 against Kazakhstan, as expected. Overall they have posted a W2 D1 L1 record in qualifying, with the lone defeat happening out in Armenia, which was a bit of a surprise result. So they can really play their way into a good position in this game, which is probably going to be tight, so under 2.5 goals at Bet365 is a quote of 8/13. Both have averaged over two goals per game in World Cup 2018 qualifying so far though, but there is big pressure on both not to lose this. Top scorer in qualifying for Montenegro is Stevan Jovetic who is a 9/4 anytime goalscorer option for this one.
There have been just the two previous meetings between Montenegro and Poland and that was in World Cup 2014 qualifying. Both game ended in a draw, with a 2-2 affair being played out in Podgorica. In the Bet365 Correct Score market a Poland 1-0 is shortest priced option at 5/1, while a repeat 2-2 draw is a big 16/1 shot. Robert Lewandowski has netted in each of his last nine European qualifiers and he is a 4/5 anytime goalscorer option. He is joint-top scorer in UEFA qualifying sat on seven goals along with Cristiano Ronaldo. That means Lewandowski has scored seven of Poland’s 10 qualification goals so far in this campaign in four games. Out on the road in qualifying so far, Poland earned a 2-2 draw in Kazakhstan, while they recorded a good 3-0 win in Romania. Neither have really been tested heavily at the back but you would assume from a betting perspective that Poland are going to be carrying a much bigger attacking threat.

Montenegro v Poland Predictions
Poland Away Win: This could be a tight game although Montenegro haven’t really been tested at home. They will put up a good fight though but ultimately are likely to fall short in trying to keep the powerful Poles at bay. Look for the away side to collect three points, probably by not more than by a one goal margin.
