Montenegro will host Armenia at the Gradski Stadion Nikšić on Monday in a friendly clash between the two nations. Both teams will be very keen to get a result to boost team morale and give their fans a rare victory to celebrate.
The hosts were completely outmatched in their 2-0 away loss to the Czech Republic last time out in their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. The Brave Falcons, who have lost seven of their last 10 games, had picked up three consecutive wins for the first time since March 2021 before Friday's defeat and will be hoping to return to winning ways and improve team confidence ahead of their next international outing in September.
Armenia led 2-1 at the break but ultimately capitulated and conceded four goals in the second half of their embarrassing 5-2 loss to Kosovo in friendly action on Friday. The visitors have lost five and drawn one of their last seven games and will be keen to pick up a win against a closely matched side ahead of their return to competitive action during the next international break.
