Georgia vs Montenegro Live Stream & Tips – Tight Battle in FIBA World Championship 2027 Qualifiers
Georgia's EuroBasket qualifying campaign has hit a rough patch, especially after back-to-back defeats by Ukraine, dampening their morale. Despite few changes to their roster, the team has struggled to find form. On the other hand, Montenegro appears in top shape, having secured victories in four of their last five games. The article recommends backing Montenegro to cover a +10.5 handicap given their momentum and Georgia's slump.

Match Preview
This is going to be the first head-to-head clash between these sides since August 2023, when Georgia won by five points in a friendly match. The importance of this match is massive for both teams.
Georgia Counting on Their Biggest Stars
The next two games are going to be of massive importance for Georgia, who are currently sitting in the lower half of Group I after carrying three victories and three defeats into this second qualifying stage.
Hero of their deciding victory against Spain, 91-89 in overtime, and probably the best player in the nation's history, Tornike Shengelia, will lead the team in this qualifying window as well, while NBA stars Goga Bitadze and Sandro Mamukeleshvili are also on the roster.
They played one friendly match ahead of this clash, beating Israel 101-90 in front of the home crowd, with Bitadze topping the charts with 22 points.
Montenegro in Slightly Better Position
Montenegro are in a slightly better position than their upcoming opponents, holding a 4-2 record, while their recent form has been decent.
They do have some problems regarding the roster. Nikola Vucevic retired from the national team last summer, while Dino Radoncic is ruled out due to a long-term injury, with experienced Nemanja Radovic back for these two games.
After winning their last two competitive games against Portugal 72-68 and Romania 65-64 in July, the Brave Falcons also won their recent friendly against Slovenia 85-78.
Verdict
Georgia have been struggling for form in these qualifiers even though their roster hasn't changed much since EuroBasket. Losing twice against Ukraine got their confidence down, while Montenegro won four of their last five meetings. I will back the Balkan side to win in a +10.5 handicap here.
Montenegro +10.5
