Our prediction for this match:
Mardan Sports Complex will host Monday’s friendly between Montenegro and North Macedonia, the two neighboring countries. Montenegro aim to build on a 2-0 win over Belarus, but they face a tough challenge in this warm-up game. Experienced attacker Stevan Jovetic should be given a rest after starting against Belarus, with all Radunovic, Skrijelj, Bakic, and Jovovic pushing for a start.
The Macedonians, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-1 draw with Moldova, which is probably the main reason why away win should not be considered. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Both Mitrovski and Dimovski should be recalled to the starting eleven after the duo came off the bench in the last friendly. When the two teams met in a friendly nine years ago North Macedonia outplayed Montenegro 4-1, but a low-scoring affair is on the cards this time out.
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.
