Slovakia vs Montenegro Betting Tips & Predictions – Slovaks Backed to Win in Kosice
Slovakia, revitalized under new coach Vladimir Weiss, look poised to continue their impressive home winning streak as they face Montenegro. Despite missing out on World Cup qualification, Slovakia have shown renewed energy, winning their last two matches. Montenegro's inconsistent recent run and lack of motivation make Slovakia strong favorites, especially at home where they've claimed five wins in their last six. The expectation is for Slovakia to secure a full-time win with odds of 1.70.

Two Previous Meetings
These two sides have never met in a competitive match, with both previous H2H encounters coming in international friendlies.
Slovakia Under New Leadership
Slovakia failed to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, which sparked a number of changes, the most significant being the reappointment of Vladimir Weiss as national team coach in place of Francesco Calzona.
They couldn’t compete against Germany in the group phase, then were beaten in the playoff semifinals by Kosovo 4-3 despite having 1.75-1.13 expected goals and 21-9 shots in this match.
Weiss’ debut was a couple of days ago, beating Malta 2-1 harder than expected. Roland Galcik secured victory in the 97th minute on Adrian Kapralik’s assist. Slovakia fired 27 shots here, 9 of which on target.
Montenegro Might Lack Motivation
Montenegro had an underwhelming run in the WC 2026 qualifiers, accumulating just nine points in eight matches to finish behind Croatia, Czech Republic and Faroe Islands in Group L.
Mirko Vucinic’s side played two international friendlies in late March, registering a 2-0 home victory against Andorra and a 3-2 defeat against Slovenia.
A couple of days ago, they locked horns against Bulgaria and claimed a 1-0 victory in Plovdiv, Balsa Sekulic netting the only goal in the 68th minute.

Verdict
Slovakia have been very strong at home, claiming five wins in their last six contests. I expect them to earn another victory against recently appointed national coach Vladimir Weiss against inconsistent Montenegro.
