Betting Tips: Mitrovic can continue impressive international form

Serbia's clash with Montenegro in the UEFA Nations League looks set to be a highly charged encounter.

Both formed part of Yugoslavia before competing as a combined national team between 2003 and 2006. Now, as separate footballing entities, they sit just a point apart in their Nations League group.

As Group Four comprises of four teams, each side still has two games left to play over this international break and Serbia boast the advantage coming into this game.

888Sport make the hosts just 2/5 (1.40) to take a huge step towards promotion with a win over their neighbours this weekend. The draw is 13/4 (4.25) and Montenegro are sizable underdogs at 15/2 (8.50).

Those prices don't appear to offer a huge amount of value but there's a side market which contains a much more appealing punting prospect.

Aleksandar Mitrovic has struggled for Fulham of late - his last goal for the Cottagers was in late September - but the 24-year-old has delivered consistently for his country.

Mitrovic boasts 10 goals in his previous 10 games for Serbia and four in the Nations League campaign so far. That includes both goals in the reverse fixture between these teams and at 10/11 (1.91) he looks overpriced in the anytime scorer market at 888Sport. Especially as he is the designated penalty taker for his country.

What's more, in the five matches in that 10-game spell where Mitrovic has found the net, he's broken the deadlock on each occasion. The Serbian forward has developed a habit of being quick off the mark.

Mitrovic netted after just 18 minutes in the reverse fixture between these sides plus 26 minutes in against Romania two games ago. Prior to that his first goals came after five, four and 68 minutes respectively.

With that in mind it may be worth a smaller stake on backing him to score first at 5/2 (3.50) or to net two or more goals at 5/1 (6.0) for those seeking bigger potential returns.
