Our prediction for this Nations League match:
Montenegro will look to end their six-game losing streak when they face Iceland in an eagerly-awaited UEFA Nations League game. The Montenegrins, under pressure to secure a good result, will be without their experienced forward Stevan Jovetic, who is suspended. His absence may be felt as the team seeks to sharpen its attack, but desperation to halt their slide could see Montenegro push forward with intensity.
Iceland, meanwhile, head into the match following a 4-2 defeat to Turkey and are equally eager to bounce back. However, they’ll be missing Lille midfielder Hakon Arnar Haraldsson (foot injury), weakening their midfield depth. With both sides in need of a win, an open game looks likely. Despite recent struggles, both teams possess enough firepower to find the net, and with their shaky defences, we belieev that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on both teams to score.
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.
