Montenegro are the model's pick, without being a certainty. The model expects them to create about a goal more per game than Latvia, and Latvia have not beaten them in their last five meetings. The model sees around three goals in it.
The chances
What we expect from each side
The grey number is their average over the last six.
Each bar is split by each side's share of the total.
What would change the call
Montenegro to win is 61% now. Here is what it would become at half-time:
Each row is the call worked out again for that half-time score. Lineups are not in it — we publish per-player shooting rates, not a squad-strength number, so what a rested front three does to this figure is not something we can honestly put a number on.

Common questions
Who will win Montenegro vs Latvia?

How does Bawler predict Montenegro vs Latvia?
Bawler estimates each side's expected goals from its results and the quality of its chances, adjusted for the strength of the opposition and for home advantage, then works out the chance of every scoreline to get win, draw and both-teams-to-score probabilities. Team news and lineups are not built into these numbers. For this match that gives Montenegro 61%, the draw 23% and Latvia 16%. Every prediction is published before kickoff and settled afterwards.
Will both teams score in Montenegro vs Latvia?
