--------------------------
Croatia aims to extend their perfect record in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers as they host Montenegro in Zagreb, while the visitors seek to bounce back after consecutive defeats to the Czech Republic.
Team Analysis:
Croatia heads into their World Cup qualifier against Montenegro with three dominant wins and a strong defensive record, positioning themselves as Group L favorites despite trailing the Czech Republic by three points with two games in hand. Montenegro, meanwhile, has suffered back-to-back losses to the Czechs and sits third in the group, facing an uphill battle to revive their qualification hopes, especially with poor away form and limited games remaining.
Player Situation:
Croatia may see the return of key players like Luka Modric and Ivan Perisic, while the fitness of Mateo Kovacic, Josko Gvardiol, and Josip Stanisic remains uncertain. Montenegro, dealing with several injuries including Milutin Osmajic and Adam Marusic, will rely on veteran forward Stevan Jovetic to lead their attack.
Result Prediction:
Croatia is expected to secure a fourth straight win in their 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign with a comfortable result against a Montenegro side that has consistently struggled in away matches.
Predicted Result: Croatia 2-0 Montenegro.
