Montenegro vs Armenia preview
Montenegro host Armenia in the UEFA Nations League on October 5, 2026, at 18:45 UTC at the Gradski Stadium in Podgorica. Montenegro enters the fixture as the leaders of League C, Group 2, having secured a perfect nine points from their opening three matches. Under manager Mirko Vučinić, the side began their campaign with a 2-1 victory over Cyprus before recording consecutive wins, including a 3-2 result against Armenia and a 2-1 win against Latvia where Vasilije Adzic scored a brace. Montenegro currently controls its own destiny in the group, with a victory in this match potentially securing promotion to League B.
Armenia arrives in Podgorica sitting third in the group standings with three points. After opening their Nations League campaign with a 2-0 victory over Latvia featuring goals from Georgiy Harutyunyan and Artur Gharibyan, Eghishe Melikyan’s side has since suffered back-to-back defeats against Montenegro and Cyprus. Armenia’s recent form has been inconsistent, following a difficult World Cup qualifying campaign where they finished bottom of their group. While they earned draws against Kazakhstan and Moldova earlier in 2026, they now look to recover from their recent losses to improve their position in the table.
