There will be fireworks when two neighbouring countries Montenegro and Croatia lock horns in an eagerly-awaited World Cup qualifier. Montenegro aim to build on a hard-fought 2-1 win over Gibraltar, but it has to be noted that they have little to play for in Monday’s clash after missing out on a spot at the World Cup finals. A man to watch in the home team will be Atalanta summer signing Nikola Krstovic, who is likely to prove a handful for the opposition back-line.
Zlatko Dalic’s men, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-1 win over Faroe Islands. Croatia, though, have already booked their spot at the next year’s showpiece tournament, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on draw. Even though there are no fresh injury worries in the away team, Torino midfielder Nikola Vlasic should sneak into the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in the last group game.
This World Cup 2026 match will be played on Monday 17 November 2025 at 19:45.
