Montenegro vs Latvia Tips & Predictions – Handicap in Play in the UEFA Nations League
Montenegro are predicted to beat Latvia by at least a two-goal margin in their upcoming fixture. This tip is based on Montenegro's dominant performance in their previous head-to-head clash in late September, where they controlled the match and created many scoring opportunities but failed to secure a more convincing win. The recommendation relies on Montenegro maintaining their attacking form and improving their finishing to convert dominance into a clear victory.

Five H2H Meetings so Far
Montenegro were victorious in three out of five head to head matches against Latvia so far, while two encounters ended without a winner.
Montenegro Close to Securing Promotion
Montenegro are on a great path to secure promotion to the UEFA Nations League C after grabbing ten points in four games so far.
The Brave Falcons started this campaign with three tight victories against Cyprus 2-1, Armenia 3-2 and Latvia 2-1. Atalanta's striker Nikola Krstovic played huge role in these victories, scoring two goals and registering one assist.
Montenegro's winning streak came to an end in early October, their home matches against Armenia ending in a goalless draw. They finished this match with 0.52-0.21 xG and 5-2 shots on target.
Horrible Run for Latvia so Far
Latvia are still winless in the UEFA Nations League, securing just one point in four games and sit bottom of Group 2 (2-6 goal difference).
They started the campaign with somewhat expected 2-0 road loss to Armenia in late September, followed by a goalless draw against Cyprus at home a couple of days later.
Latvia were beaten in both of their appearances in October, 2-1 by Montenegro at home and most recently Cyprus 2-1 in Nicosia, registering just three shots on target in these matches.

Verdict
Montenegro dominated Latvia in their first h2h clash in late September and missed an absurd number of chances to earn more convincing win. I am predicting the Brave Falcons to win by at least two goal difference on Thursday.
