Cyprus Montenegro betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The bet we recommend for this friendly is the ''Draw no bet, Montenegro''. We believe that the Montenegrins will dominate the whole match and enjoy the best goal opportunities as they hold a superior team. On the other hand, Cyprus has an appealing football, however, insufficient to win a positive result in this match. So, and taking into account these factors, risking Montenegro's favor is a good option, but we will protect ourselves in a possible tie.

Preview
Cyprus and Montenegro meet at Neo GSP, in a friendly match, the first of the year for both teams. There is no record of official head‑to‑heads between these two teams in the last 3 years. The last time they met, on 09‑09‑2009, the match ended with the final score: Montenegro (1‑1) Cyprus. Montenegro registers significant differences between home and away results, so special attention is due to the home/away factor.

Analysis Cyprus

This is the first friendly match of the year for the home team, after having played 4 friendlies last year, with the following final scores: Armenia (3‑2) Cyprus, Georgia (1‑0) Cyprus, Portugal (4‑0) Cyprus and Cyprus (3‑1) Kazakhstan. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins and 11 losses in away matches, with 13 goals scored and 31 conceded; against 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses at their stadium, with 18 goals scored and 18 conceded. In their last match, for the Friendlies, they got an away loss against Armenia by (3‑2). In the last 6 home matches Cyprus has won 3, tied 1 and lost 2. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. This is a team that has had a hard time trying to score first. They have opened up the score in only 3 of the last 15 matches, they have reached half‑time in front in 1 of those 3 matches and have held on to the lead in 2. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 11 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

Cyprus comes for this match after a defeat against Armenia by 3-2, adding in this way the fifth followed defeat in several competitions. It’s worth noting that the Cypriot moment is very negative, having added just 3 wins in the last 10 played matches. Usually, the coach Ran Ben Shimon plays in 3-5-2 giving priority to the defensive organization and the direct balls to the attack: Sotiriou, player of Copenhagen, is very powerful and effective in finishing. It should be noted that Cyprus places five players when they come to defensive organization. Despite this, Cypriot national team shows enormous defensive and offensive fragilities.

Confirmed Lineup: Urko Pardo, Giorgos Merkis, Ioannis Kousoulos, Konstantinos Laifis, Nicholas Ioannou, Anthony Georgiou, Dimitris Christofi, Dimitris Froxilias, Jason Dimitriou, Kostakis Artymatas, Pieros Sotiriou.

Analysis Montenegro

The away team plays its first friendly match of the year, after a single friendly match played last year, which ended with the final score: Montenegro (1‑2) Iran. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 2 draws and 10 losses in away matches, with 15 goals scored and 25 conceded; against 6 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses at their stadium, with 22 goals scored and 18 conceded. In their last match, for the WC Qualification Europe, they got an away loss against Poland by (4‑2). In the last 7 away matches Montenegro has won 2, tied 1 and lost 4. Their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In 14 matches, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

The Montenegrin national team comes for this match after a defeat against Poland, by 4-2, thus adding the second followed defeat in official matches: Mugosa and Tomasevic scored the team's goals. Even so, the Montenegrins have conquered 5 wins in their last 10 matches. In this friendly match, the coach Ljubisa Tumbakovic should play in the usual 4-2-3-1 privileging the ball possession and the successive attacks, mainly through the flanks: Jankovic is a very fast and excellent player in the offensive transition. It’s important to note that Montenegro's national team has presented some weaknesses in the defensive transition due to the offensive flow in their attacks.

Confirmed Lineup: Milan Mijatović, Filip Stojković, Nemanja Mijušković, Stefan Savić, Žarko Tomašević, Damir Kojašević, Mirko Ivanić, Nikola Vukčević, Fatos Beqiraj, Stevan Jovetić, Vladimir Jovović.
