The guests will win on class! Montenegro vs Wales Prediction
One of the matches in the second round of the UEFA Nations League will be played on Monday in Podgorica, where Montenegro will host Wales. Here’s the expert prediction from Dailysports.
Montenegro
The "Brave Falcons" failed to qualify for Euro 2024, finishing third in their qualifying group. This year, Montenegro has played four friendly matches, winning against Belarus (2-0) and North Macedonia (1-0). However, when facing stronger opponents like Belgium (0-2) and Georgia (1-3), defensive weaknesses became evident.
In the first round of the UEFA Nations League, Montenegro played away in Iceland and delivered a very lackluster performance. Robert Prosinečki's side failed to create any significant chances, and Iceland scored a goal in each half, handing Montenegro their third consecutive defeat.
Wales
The "Dragons" have made significant strides in international football in recent years, a far cry from the days when they struggled to qualify for major tournaments. Their run to the semi-finals at Euro 2016 was a major success. However, they fell short of qualifying for Euro 2024. After a convincing 4-1 win against Finland in the playoff, Wales lost to Poland in a penalty shootout.
Wales can take pride in their first UEFA Nations League match. Facing a strong Turkish side, which reached the quarter-finals at the last Euros, the match ended in a 0-0 draw. Wales created some good chances and should have secured a win on home soil.
