Match report
Montenegro held by Armenia despite late red card for Lončar
Montenegro and Armenia played out a goalless draw at Gradski Stadion in a UEFA Nations League League C Group 2 fixture that left both sides without a goal to show for their efforts. The result kept Montenegro top of the group on 10 points from four games, while Armenia remained third with four points from the same number of matches.
AI-assisted match report written from official match data.
The match stayed level throughout, with neither side able to find a breakthrough despite Montenegro's dominance of territory and chances. The only incident of real note came in the 86th minute, when Stefan Lončar was sent off for Montenegro, leaving the hosts to see out the closing stages with ten men.
Montenegro controlled possession with 64 percent of the ball and had the better of the goal-scoring opportunities, registering five shots on target to Armenia's two. Despite that balance of play and a flurry of four corners to Armenia's two, Robert Prosinečki's side could not convert their superiority into a goal, and Melikyan's Armenia held firm to take a point away from home.
Stefan Savić was the leading performer on the pitch, finishing with a rating of 7.66 as Montenegro's defence and build-up play anchored around him despite the eventual red card for a teammate.
Montenegro's dominance was underlined by a 64 percent share of possession against Armenia's 36 percent.
Montenegro and Armenia drew 0–0 (half-time 0–0).

Sirius · Why these numbers
Before kick-off Sirius gave Montenegro 58%, the draw 23%, Armenia 19%. It finished Montenegro 0–0 Armenia.
Montenegro's rating edge carries it — Montenegro are the stronger side on our strength rating, and that is most of Montenegro's 58%. The draw at 23% is held down by a high-scoring environment.
Why Montenegro at 58%?
Montenegro sit 90 points higher on our strength rating — 1515 to 1425. Sides with a 80–160-point rating edge at home won 56.6% of 13,299 such games. The 300 most similar past games finished 52–26–22.
Why only 58%?
No scored evidence points the other way. 58% is what this rating gap has been worth in games like these; the rest is the draw at 23% and Armenia at 19%.
Why is the draw only 23%?
With a rating gap this size the draw starts at 24.9%. These teams' recent games average 3.3 goals — a high-scoring environment. Games in that environment drew 23.2% of 16,826. The goals environment takes 2.2 points off the draw.
What did we measure but not count?
Last five: Montenegro W-W-W, Armenia W-L-L — Montenegro are clearly the hotter side on recent results. Between equals, recent form told us almost nothing: the home side won 43.3% of 1900 games when clearly hotter and 43.7% of 3633 when clearly colder. Montenegro (11 fully-tracked matches with us) and Armenia (9) carry strength ratings anchored to the official international ratings list, so the class read stands on far more than our own short records. National sides play too few games for a record built from scratch, so their rating chain starts from the published international ratings instead of a blind first guess.
