Montenegro U21 ๐ฒ๐ช vs ๐ฎ๐น Italy U21
I think thereโs a decent chance for a pretty good match, but maybe not a super-open, goal-fest. Hereโs why:
๐ Why It Could Be Good
Italy dominance, but Montenegro will fight
Italy U21 are very strong and like to control the game.
But Montenegro arenโt pushovers โ theyโve shown some resilience and can be dangerous on counter-attacks.
Tactical battle
Italyโs good at keeping the ball, building play, and pressing.
Montenegro may sit deep and try to punish mistakes, especially in transitions.
Goals more likely than a clean sheet
Some predictions lean to โboth teams to scoreโ being a possibility.
Historically, their head-to-head has seen goals: H2H average goals per game is reasonably high.
Stakes matter
In a U21 qualifying match, both teams will want to compete โ not just for pride, but for progression. That tends to make games more competitive.
โ ๏ธ But It Might Not Be Explosively Entertaining
Some data suggests under 2.5 total goals could happen, because Italy might control much of the possession and limit big chances.
If Montenegro defend very deep, Italy could dominate but not โblow them awayโ โ so the match might be more about control than wild attacking flair.
โ My Verdict
Yes, I think itโll be an interesting match to watch โ tactically rich, with chances for both sides.
But, itโs unlikely to be a chaotic high-scoring game; more likely a controlled match with a few moments of real quality.
