Our prediction for this Euro 2024 match:
Following an unlucky 2-2 draw with Lithuania, Montenegro will look to put an end to their four-game winless run in all competitions when they face Bulgaria on Sunday. The Montenegrins have a chance to climb to top two in Group G and they are likely to go all guns blazing at the Bulgarians. Sporting Gijon attacker Uros Djurdjevic is pushing for a start as well as former Man City ace Stevan Jovetic.
The visitors, on the other hand, have yet to record a win in the EURO 2024 qualifiers. Considering that Montenegro are a real force to be reckoned with at home, we are tempted to put our money on Miodrag Radulovic’s troops. CSKA Sofia forward Georgi Rusev is banned for the visiting team, which is yet another reason why home win should be considered. Earlier in the process Montenegro defeated Bulgaria in Sofia thanks to Nikola Krstovic’s goal.
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.
