Montenegro - Latvia: team news and expert analysis
Montenegro failed to stay in League B of the competition, but they are now very close to returning. They started the autumn campaign with three wins, beating every opponent. Perhaps they took their foot off the gas a little, or simply ran out of steam: at home against Armenia, they had to settle for a goalless draw.
Latvia were considered outsiders from the outset, even in this group. They avoided relegation to League D only because they beat Gibraltar twice in the March play-offs. But they have offered no surprises this autumn: they kept a clean sheet only at home against Cyprus, holding them to a goalless draw, and lost their other matches.
Adzic and his teammates score 1.8 goals per game, while conceding just under a third fewer — only 1.3. The Baltic side score just 0.7 goals per game and concede twice as many — 1.5.
