Prediction: 0-3
Montenegro
David faces Goliath at Victoria Stadium on Friday evening as Gibraltar and Montenegro go head to head in the 2022 World Cup qualifier. Gibraltar suffered a loss in each of their six group games, and, as a result, they are stuck at the bottom of the standings ahead of the visit of Montenegro. The rock-bottom side obviously struggle at the back, and we do not believe that they are capable of shocking Miodrag Radulovic’s men, who aim to keep their automatic qualification hopes alive.
The good news for the visitors is that key attacker Stevan Jovetic returns from injury. When the two teams met in Podgorica earlier in the process Montenegro recorded a 4-1 win over Gibraltar, which was first and only previous meetings between the two national team. Atletico Madrid defender Stefan Savic returns to the starting XI after missing the goalless draw with Latvia through suspension.
Highlighted Player (Nikola Vukcevic):
Nikola Vukcevic is yet another Montenegro footballer who plays for Braga as a midfielder. The 184-cm-tall player was born in Podgorica on 13 December, 1991. Vukcevic began his senior career at his hometown club Buducnost Podgorica and he was part of the team from 2010 to 2013.
The Montenegro footballer scored four goals in 65 league appearances for the club. In 2013 he joined Braga as a free player and he initially played for the reserve team. After making 31 appearances for Braga B he made his debut for the first team against Vitoria, coming from the bench in the stoppage time. Speaking of his international career, Nikola Vukcevic made his Montenegro debut against Ghana on 5 March, 2014 in a friendly game.
The Hrabri sokoli defeated the Black Stars back then. His main position is defensive midfielder, but he plays as a central midfielder and as attacking midfielder as well. Nikola’s contract with Braga expires on 30 June, 2020.
Highlighted Team (Montenegro):
Montenegro is yet another former Yugoslavian republic. The Montenegrins declared their independence in 2006 and they played their first official match under the name of Montenegro in March, 2007. The Hrabri sokoli defeated Hungary in their first official game, with the team coming from behind to beat the Hungarians.
Serie A superstar Mirko Vucinic and Igor Burzanovic scored for Montenegro in the 2-1 triumph over Hungary. Montenegro national football team participated in the UEFA Euro 2012 playoffs and that is regarded as the team’s biggest success. The Hrabri sokoli faced Czech Republic in the double-header, but they eventually failed to book their place at the showpiece tournament in Poland and Ukraine.
Aforementioned attacker Mirko Vucinic is seen as one of the most famous footballers who played for the Montenegro national team, but we should mention former Manchester City ace Stevan Jovetic as well. Montenegro play their home games at Stadion Pod Goricom and they recorded their biggest win against San Marino (6-0) in September, 2012.
