Our prediction for this match:
Montenegro and Georgia square off against each other at Stadion Pod Goricom in what is expected to be a close international friendly. The former Yugoslav republic failed to spoil Belgium’s party in Brussels, but they are surely capable of matching the Georgians in Podgorica. Atletico Madrid defender Stefan Savic has been ruled out with injury, while midfielder Milos Brnovic serves a one-game ban.
The visitors, on the other hand, will use this match as a perfect preparation for their EURO 2024 opener against Turkey. As Will Sagnol is going to field the best possible side against Montenegro, we are tempted to place our bets on Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and Co. In their last meeting on the international stage Montenegro defeated Georgia 2-1 back in 2009, meaning that the visitors are hungry for revenge. As always, a man to watch in the away team will be Napoli ace Khvicha Kvaratskhelia.
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.
