Recent form

Wales

Wales' recent form shows a mixed bag of results, with resilience in securing draws but struggling to find consistent victories. In their last six matches, they've managed one win, four draws, and one loss, demonstrating a tendency to share the spoils. Defensively, Wales has been relatively solid, keeping three clean sheets in this period. However, their attacking output has been modest, scoring only 0.67 goals per game. The standout result in this sequence is the heavy 4-0 defeat to Slovakia in a friendly, which significantly impacts their goals conceded average. Interestingly, half of their recent matches have seen over 2.5 goals, while the other half have been more low-scoring affairs. The team's ability to avoid defeat in five out of six games suggests a certain level of competitiveness, but their challenge lies in converting draws into wins to improve their overall standing.

Montenegro

Montenegro's recent form has been particularly concerning, with the team currently on a five-game losing streak. This run of defeats is notable and suggests a significant dip in performance. In their last six matches, they have managed to score only three goals while conceding ten, highlighting struggles at both ends of the pitch. Their sole victory came against North Macedonia in a friendly match, which was followed by the current losing streak. The team has struggled to keep clean sheets, managing only one in these six games. Interestingly, two-thirds of their recent matches have seen fewer than 2.5 goals, indicating a tendency towards lower-scoring affairs. The 3-1 loss to Georgia stands out as the highest-scoring game in this period, with four goals total. Overall, Montenegro's recent form paints a picture of a team facing significant challenges, particularly in competitive fixtures.

Recent home/away form

Wales

Wales has shown strong defensive form at home, maintaining an unbeaten streak in their last six matches with three wins and three draws. They've been particularly solid at the back, conceding only 0.5 goals per game and keeping three clean sheets. Offensively, Wales has been productive, scoring an impressive 11 goals in six games, averaging 1.83 goals per game. Two high-scoring matches stand out: a 4-1 victory against Finland and a 4-0 win over Gibraltar, both contributing significantly to their positive goal difference of 8. The team's overall performance has been balanced, with an even split between matches going over and under 2.5 goals, and both teams scoring in half of the games. This mix of defensive stability and offensive capability has made Wales a formidable opponent on home soil.

Montenegro

Montenegro's recent away form has been particularly challenging, with the team currently on a three-game losing streak in their last three away matches. Over their last six away games, they've managed only one win, suffering five losses and failing to secure any draws. Their defensive struggles are evident, conceding an average of 1.83 goals per game while scoring just 0.67 goals per game. The sole bright spot in this run was a 2-0 victory against Belarus in a friendly match, which also marked their only clean sheet in these six games. Notably, two-thirds of their away matches have seen under 2.5 goals, suggesting a tendency towards lower-scoring affairs, despite their defensive vulnerabilities. The team's goal difference of -7 over this period further underscores their difficulties in finding a balance between attack and defense on the road.
