Latvia and Montenegro arrive with different attacking profiles, but the overall shape of this matchup still points more toward a cautious, low-scoring game. Latvia’s last 5 matches brought just 1 win, 2 draws, and 2 losses, with only 2 goals scored and an average of 0.8 goals conceded per game. That suggests a team that usually plays in a controlled, compact way rather than in open attacking exchanges. Montenegro look more dangerous going forward: 3 wins, 1 draw, and 1 loss in their last 5 games, 10 goals scored, and an average of 2 goals per match. Even so, they are not fully secure at the back either, having conceded 8 times in that same stretch, which means they can still allow chances. The head to head record also supports a restrained outlook – in 3 meetings, there have been 2 draws and 1 Montenegro win, with no high scoring pattern standing out. Latvia can make the game slow at home, while Montenegro away from home often lean toward a pragmatic approach when the opponent is capable of closing space. That combination makes a match with long stretches of caution and a limited goal count more likely than a wide open contest. The best fit here is Under 2.5, as the balance of the matchup favors a modest scoreline rather than three or more goals. Under 2.5. We recommend the bet “Under 2.5” at odds of 1.69.
