Montenegro – Wales Predictions and Preview

  • The latest edition of the UEFA Nations League (UNL) got off to a rocky start for Montenegro, who started their Group B4 campaign with a 2-0 defeat away to Iceland. This suggests that Robert Prosinečki’s team might be a bit rusty after not playing a competitive game before that since November. Now they face the prospect of a fourth consecutive defeat in this competition.
  • The last time Montenegro experienced four consecutive defeats in a row was in March 2016. However, their three wins from their past four matches played on home soil (L1) suggest that they are well-positioned to get back on track in front of their home fans. Only one of their past four home games in this competition ended in defeat (W2, D1). Additionally, their two games against Wales on these shores resulted in a 100% record, with two wins (W2).
  • The last meeting between Montenegro and Wales came back in 2010. Since then, Wales have started their campaign with a solid 0-0 draw against the Euro 2024 quarter-finalists Turkey. Their performance drew praise from the media for their new boss Craig Bellamy. BBC writer Dafydd Pritchard claimed that a bold and different playing style and a clear identity were “crystal clear” to see.
  • Despite this, Bellamy can’t ignore that Wales’ winless and scoreless run now stands at four matches (D2, L2). Their record is even bleaker in this competition, where they haven’t won in seven games (D2, L5). However, their relegation to Group B in the last edition may benefit him in building momentum since Wales have lost just two of their 11 games at this level (W7, D2).
  • Players to watch: Montenegro’s hopes might lie with Stevan Jovetić, who has scored three of his nation’s last four goals on home soil. He also scored in the first-ever meeting between these two nations back in 2009. Mark Harris might get his chance here after being an unused substitute against Turkey. He was recalled to the Wales fold by Bellamy after a year out and arrives having netted four goals in his four league appearances for Oxford United this season.
  • Hot stat: Each of Montenegro’s last three home UNL matches produced exactly two match goals, all of which arrived in the second half.
