On June 17, Stadion Pod Goricom (Podgorica) will host the match of the 3rd round of the Euro 2024 Qualification, in which Montenegro will compete with Hungary. The battle will start at 20:45 CET.

Montenegro

The team has not been playing for so long – the country had been a part of Yugoslavia, under different names, until the beginning of the current century. On the other hand, “the Brave Falcons” have been playing for a decade and a half without any famous success. Moreover, the leaders, Jovetić, Savić and others, are ageing, and there are practically no young players, in fact, one can name only Hakšabanović from Celtic. As a result, the only success that can be mentioned is that it won a group in the Nations League – that happened at the level of the League C (and then they stayed there). Speaking about the new cycle, Radulović’s wards had a successful start – there was an away victory in the battle against neighbouring Bulgaria (Krstović scored that goal). Still, then the team lost to another, even closer opponent: a home 0-2 score in the confrontation with Serbia.

Hungary

The team reminded of itself with bright performances in two previous Euros. It went to the so-called “groups of death” twice, but was able to cause a hassle for the grandees, especially at the home arena. Moreover, the previous Nations League gave an opportunity to beat both England (twice!) and Germany – the team could even win the group if it had succeeded in the confrontation with Italy. At the same time, it was not possible to reach the World Cup. Nowadays, Marco Rossi’s wards are starting a new cycle. First, “the Magyars” warmed up in Estonia, in a test match. And then they defeated Bulgaria with a 3-0 score at the home arena. Moreover, all the goals were scored by the 39th minute of the game. It goes without saying that the team needs to continue like this, but there are a lot of personnel troubles now. First of all, the main goalkeeper, Gulácsi, was lost, as well as Fiola, Nagy, Schäfer, Nemeth, and Ádám Szalai decided to finish his performance in the previous autumn.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

All 3 previous battles were friendly. Once the opponents ended in a draw, speaking about two other cases, including in 2019, Montenegro won.

Predictions

Bookmakers consider the Hungarians to be the favourite of the following battle. Still, they play much better at home arena than away – let’s focus on the option of “total: under 2.5” (odd: 1.65).
