Cyprus vs Montenegro is a UEFA Nations League fixture scheduled for 15 November 2026, bringing the top two sides in Group B face to face. Montenegro lead the group with 13 points from five matches, while Cyprus sit second on eight points from the same number of games, making this a meeting of the section’s two unbeaten-or-better records at the business end of the campaign.
Head-to-Head Record
The head-to-head record between these two nations spans six meetings, and it is heavily weighted in Montenegro’s favour: three wins for Montenegro, three draws, and no victories at all for Cyprus. The goals split 11 to 4 in Montenegro’s favour across those six matches, an average of 2.5 total goals per meeting. The most recent encounter came earlier in this very campaign, on 25 September 2026, when Montenegro beat Cyprus 2-1 in the UEFA Nations League — the same competition in which Montenegro also won both meetings in the 2020-2021 season, 4-0 and 2-0. Cyprus have never beaten Montenegro; their best results in the fixture are three draws, including a 2-2 draw in 2010 World Cup qualification and a goalless friendly in March 2018.

Cyprus: Recent Form
Cyprus arrive with a six-match record of three wins, two draws and one defeat, scoring eight goals and conceding four at an average of 1.33 for and 0.67 against per game — a points-per-game rate of 1.83. Their most recent result was a 1-1 draw away to Armenia on 12 November, and they also beat Latvia 2-1 at home in October. Three clean sheets in the run underline a defensively solid stretch, though they failed to score in one match. One caveat: one of those six matches was a friendly, a 2-0 win over Liechtenstein in June, so the run should not be read as purely competitive results.

Montenegro: Recent Form
Montenegro’s form is the strongest in this matchup: four wins and two draws from six matches without defeat, 11 goals scored and seven conceded, and a points-per-game average of 2.33. They beat Latvia 2-1 at home on 12 November in their most recent outing, and drew 0-0 with Armenia in October. Their attacking output is notably higher than Cyprus’s at 1.83 goals per game, but their defensive record is more porous — just one clean sheet in the six matches, with 1.17 goals conceded per game. As with Cyprus, one of the six matches was a friendly — a 2-2 draw away to Slovakia in June — so the sequence is not entirely competitive.
