----------------------------------------------
Montenegro, after a turbulent 2024, aims for a strong start in World Cup qualifying against Gibraltar. Despite recent friendly wins followed by seven straight losses, including Nations League relegation, Montenegro ended last year with a 3-1 win over Turkey. Robert Prosinecki's side, ranked 73rd globally, has only one win in their last eight World Cup qualifiers, but that was against Gibraltar (3-0).

Gibraltar, FIFA ranked 196th, enters with a seven-game unbeaten streak, including draws against Wales and Moldova. However, they've lost all 20 previous World Cup qualifiers. Under interim coach Scott Wiseman, they seek their first points.

Montenegro's Milutin Osmajic is out injured. Nikola Krstovic, fresh from a hat-trick, and captain Stevan Jovetic will lead the attack. Gibraltar faces injury woes, missing key players. James Scanlon and Liam Walker are expected to feature.

Montenegro's home advantage and past dominance over Gibraltar suggest a comfortable win.

Prediction: Montenegro
