- Date: Friday, 14th November, 2025
- Kickoff: 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET

On Friday evening, two of the last teams in Group L of the World Cup Qualifiers, Gibraltar and Montenegro, will face off against each other at Europa Point Stadium in Gibraltar. Neither team has a chance of advancing to the next stage of the competition, and they are without a real motive in this World Cup Qualifier tie.
Let's break down the match and find the best possible bet for the upcoming tie.

These teams met in March this year in the World Cup Qualifiers, with Montenegro winning 3:1. In total, these teams met three times. Montenegro won all three times, each by two or more goals.
Regarding the number of goals, we saw three or more goals in all three games and four or more in two out of those three games (67%). Meanwhile, both teams scored in two out of the last three games as well.
Gibraltar team overview
Gibraltar are one of the worst national teams in the world, currently ranked 200th out of 211 teams in the FIFA World Ranking List. They are also currently the third-worst team in Europe, only above San Marino and Liechtenstein. So, expectedly, they are a team that has never reached the World Cup or the Euro and that will hardly change. In these Qualifiers, Gibraltar are without a single point in six rounds while scoring only two goals - 0.33 per game.
In recent days, coach Scott Wiseman revealed his squad for the upcoming two games vs Montenegro and the Czech Republic. According to the domestic media reports, the coach could use the exact same starting lineup from the last match vs Croatia (3:0 loss).

Montenegro team overview
Montenegro are also one of the teams that have never reached any major competition in their brief history as a sovereign state. Before these Qualifiers, Montenegro did a really poor job in UEFA Nations League B, where they got relegated from the group with Wales, Turkey, and Iceland. It was apparent they do not belong in the same tier with these teams, and League C is probably where they belong.
Before the duels against Gibraltar and Croatia, coach Mirko Vucinic held a press conference and spoke to the media. He said he wants to improve the impression of these Qualifiers with two good games. The coach did not want to speak about the job security but focused on the upcoming games. He said Adam Marusic and Marko Jankovic will make a return, while captain Stevan Jovetic will miss the Gibraltar game and join the team for Croatia.

Prediction
These teams have been absolutely terrible offensively in the Qualifiers. Gibraltar scored only two goals and Montenegro four. So combined, these teams scored a total of six goals in 12 games!
Also, at home, Gibraltar are a hard team to beat and rarely allows too many goals, at least against teams of Montenegro's quality. In the past 11 home games across the competitions, they allowed one or zero goals on six occasions - 55%.
Meanwhile, Montenegro are a team that heavily relies on their home pitch. On the road, they suffered nine straight losses while scoring a total of two goals - 0.22 per game.
Considering all the above, but especially both teams' terrible offensive displays in these Qualifiers, an under 3.5 goals bet seems like the best option for the upcoming match.
3 Reasons why we should see fewer than four goals
- Gibraltar went under 3.5 goals in the last five games
- Gibraltar scored two goals in six WC Qualifiers
- Montenegro failed to score in the last seven road games across the competitions
Main prediction Gibraltar - Montenegro
Under 3.5 goals
