Wales vs Montenegro Prediction

This Monday’s UEFA Nations League game sees Montenegro make the trip to face Wales at the Cardiff City Stadium. This result could have serious implications for Wales as they sit just two points behind top of the group Turkey so a win and a result going their way could let them end the group first.

Key Stats

• Wales have won the previous two games against Montenegro
• Montenegro haven’t scored in their last 3 away matches
• Montenegro have lost their last 5 matches

Team Previews, Form and Standout Players

Montenegro have been poor recently, losing all five of the last games they have played. They are sat rock bottom of Group 4 with a minus four goal difference, only scoring once so far.

Wales have Tottenham’s Brennan Johnson who is on fire right now. He scored in Friday’s match versus Iceland to make it seven goals in seven games for both club and country. He could definitely be the difference for Wales to see off Montenegro.

Wales have slightly struggled in their last five games. One win, one loss and three draws isn’t too bad, but they should be doing better given the talent they have and on paper the opposition they have been facing. However, one of those draws and a lose were not in the Nations League as Wales are unbeaten in the three games they have played. A goalless stalemate with Turkey was followed by a win against their opponents in this match Montenegro before blowing a 2-0 lead versus Iceland, a draw come the full time whistle.

Brennan Johnson has been phenomenal as of late as he just cannot stop scoring. He has bagged himself a goal in all of the last seven games he has played for both the national team and at club level for Tottenham Hotspur. Another man for Cymru is Fulham’s Harry Wilson. He has found the back of the net twice and provided an assist as well in this year’s Nations League campaign. They both could get themselves another goal contribution against Montenegro and help Wales push for top spot.

Predicted Line-Up: Igor Nikic; Andrija Vukcevic, Nikola Sipcic, Igor Vujacic, Adam Marusic; Nikola Krstovic, Vladimir Jovovic, Edvin Kuc, Marko Bakic, Driton Camaj; Stevan Jovetic (c)

Montenegro suffered a defeat in their first UEFA Nations League B Group 4 match of the year at the hands of Iceland, beaten 2-0. They then lost to their opponents in this fixture Wales, and then again to the final team in the group they hadn’t played, Turkey.

The Brave Falcons have struggled defensively since Stefan Savic didn’t make the cut to be in the squad. They have conceded five goals in the three Nations League games they’ve played but also lost their last five consecutive matches. Former Manchester City striker and now captain for his country, Stevan Jovetic has been struggling to find the back of the net during this tournament so Wales could be let of the hook in this one.

Neither side hold an advantage over another as the games have been split evenly with two wins heading Wales’ way and two going Montenegro’s way.
