Turkey vs Montenegro Prediction

It’s the international break ladies and gentleman, but that doesn’t mean we’re giving up on our expert tips, instead we’ve done our research on the upcoming international fixtures.

We’re taking a look at Friday’s fixture, where Vincenzo Montella’s Turkey side take on Robert Prosinecki’s Montenegro team.

Key Stats

• Turkey have lost one in their last five
• Montenegro have lost their last four
• Turkey have scored first in four of their last five

Team Previews, Form, and Standout Players

The two teams have had drastically different starts to the Nations League campaign, Turkey top the group and are yet to lose, while Montenegro have lost both of their games so far.

Turkey are clearly the better side, and will for sure be dominant in this fixture.

Turkey Preview

Turkey Predicted Line-up - Ugurcan Cakir; Mert Muldur, Merih Demiral, Abdulkerim Bardakci, Ferdi Kadioglu; Hakan Calhanoglu, Orkun Kokcu; Arda Guler, Irfan Can Kahveci, Kerem Akturkoglu; Baris Alper Yilmaz

Whilst Turkey were unlucky to be knocked out of Euro 2024 early in the knockout stages, they still did well to get to that stage of the competition.

Turkey’s squad is stocked with quality, and they have a wealth of impressive young players which will see them further progress in the coming years.

Captain Calhanoglu will be vital in midfield, who’s aged like fine wine in recent years.

Montenegro Preview

Montenegro Predicted Line-up - Milan Mijatovic; Adam Marusic, Slobodan Rubezic, Igor Vujacic, Risto Radunovic; Milos Brnovic, Vladamir Jovovic; Driton Camaj, Stevan Jovetic, Nikola Krstovic; Stefan Mugosa

Montenegro have been pretty poor over the last year, losing their last four games and very much struggling to score goals.

Whilst they don’t have the strongest squad, they do have plenty of experience that could help them.

Captain Stevan Jovetic will be vital if Montenegro would somehow gain a result.

Head To Head Stats: Turkey vs Montenegro
