Cyprus Montenegro betting prediction

The home team makes its debut in this competition, since they had direct access and didn't have to go through any of the previous rounds. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 1 draw and 11 losses in away matches; against 5 wins, 4 draws and 6 losses at their stadium. In their last match, for the EC Qualification, they got an away loss against Belgium by (6‑1). In the last 8 home matches Cyprus has won 2, tied 2 and lost 4. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, as 8 of the last 8 have ended with Over 1,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 9 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

The Cyprus national team come to this game with a heavy 6-1 away defeat to Belgium, registering in this way the third straight defeat in official games: Nikolas Ioannou scored the only goal of the team.
