Cyprus vs Montenegro: prediction, tip and odds, 15 November 2026, UEFA Nations League

Cyprus vs Montenegro betting prediction

Montenegro head to Limassol with the group‑top spot in their pocket, while Cyprus will look to defend their flawless home record and keep the pressure on the leaders. The clash is set for 15 November 2026 at 14:00 local time in the Alphamega Stadium, a decisive encounter in UEFA Nations League Matchweek 6.

Cyprus at home – strong but limited

In the UEFA Nations League Cyprus sit second with eight points from five games. At home they are unbeaten, having won both matches, scoring four and conceding just one. Their home record reads two wins, no draws and no losses, with a goal ratio of 4:1.

Across their last five fixtures in all competitions Cyprus have recorded two wins, two draws and one loss, netting six goals while allowing four. Both sides have found the net in three of those games and the total has exceeded 2.5 goals twice. Cyprus kept a clean sheet in one of their home victories and failed to score in one away game.

The most recent home performances underline their solidity. On 2 October 2026 Cyprus defeated Armenia 2‑0, and on 5 October 2026 they edged Latvia 2‑1, both at the Alphamega Stadium. These results contributed to the four home goals scored and the single home concession recorded so far in the competition.

When Cyprus play away they have struggled to find the net, as shown by the 0‑0 draw against Latvia on 28 September 2026 and the 1‑1 draw with Armenia on 12 November 2026. Their only recent away defeat came at the hands of Montenegro on 25 September 2026, a 2‑1 loss.

Montenegro’s away dominance

Montenegro lead the group with thirteen points, unbeaten in five games (four wins, one draw). Their away record is perfect – two wins, no draws or defeats, with five goals scored and three conceded.

In their most recent five outings they have not lost, winning four and drawing one, scoring nine and conceding five. Both teams have scored in four of those matches and the total has been over 2.5 goals on four occasions. They have kept a clean sheet once and have been held scoreless once.

Montenegro’s recent form at home has also been impressive. They opened the sequence with a 2‑1 victory over Cyprus on 25 September 2026, followed by a 0‑0 draw with Armenia on 5 October 2026 and a 2‑1 win over Latvia on 12 November 2026. Their away successes include a 3‑2 win in Armenia on 28 September 2026 and a 2‑1 triumph in Latvia on 2 October 2026.

These results illustrate Montenegro’s ability to both score and concede, with four of the five recent matches featuring goals from both sides and a high frequency of over‑2.5‑goal games.

Recent head‑to‑head record

In the last four meetings Montenegro have been the clear superior, winning three and drawing one, with an aggregate score of 8‑1. The most recent encounter on 25 September 2026 saw Montenegro win 2‑1 at home. Earlier meetings include a 4‑0 victory for Montenegro on 17 November 2020, a 2‑0 win on 5 September 2020, and a 0‑0 draw on 23 March 2018.

This dominance is reflected in the betting market, which assigns Montenegro a 42 % chance of victory at odds of 1.67, compared with a 29 % chance for both a Cyprus win and a draw.
