Wales Montenegro prediction 2024-10-14

Wales vs Montenegro prediction: EUROPE: UEFA Nations League – League B betting tips on match 2024-10-13 18:45.
[p]A disastrous three-minute spell in the second half of their UEFA Nations League (UNL) game against Iceland on Friday night saw Wales let slip a 2-0 lead in a 2-2 draw, although the result means that Craig Bellamy is still unbeaten (W1, D2) since taking over as head coach. The Dragons can still console themselves with the fact that they sit second in Group B4 – two points behind leaders Turkey – meaning that the prospect of promotion is currently in their hands. [/p]

[p]To realistically keep those hopes alive, Wales must defeat Montenegro, a nation they’ve beaten in their last two meetings, including in the reverse UNL fixture last month. Don’t expect this to be a one-sided affair however, as all four H2Hs have only been settled by a one-goal margin, three of which came by the same 2-1 scoreline. [/p]

[p]After suffering a 1-0 defeat to Turkey on Friday, bottom-of-the-group Montenegro are now on a five-game losing streak – their worst run since being granted full UEFA membership in 2007. Along with Finland, they were the only nation not to have a point on the board in League B after three matchdays – a plight not helped by the fact they’ve scored just one goal across those three games. [/p]

[p]Unfortunately for Montenegro, they have now suffered five straight away defeats – their worst-ever sequence as visitors – while their last trip to the UK saw them thrashed 7-0 by England in November 2019 in what remains the heaviest loss inflicted on the Brave Falcons in their brief history. [/p]

[p]Players to watch: Despite struggling for minutes at Fulham, Harry Wilson has scored on his last two Wales outings, meaning that he could now find the net in a third successive international for the first time in his career. Stevan Jovetić is the sole member of Montenegro’s current squad that faced Wales in the two countries’ first-ever meeting back in 2009, and happens to be the only player on either side to have scored twice in this fixture, including in that opening H2H. [/p]

[p]Hot stat: Wales haven’t scored after half-time in their last six matches. [/p]
