Prediction: 2-0
Montenegro
Czech Republic and Montenegro take on each other at Doosan Arena in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Friday’s program. The Czechs are on a three-game winning run in all competitions and they surely want to keep their 100% record in the 2026 WC qualifiers intact. The good news for the hosts is that Hoffenheim striker Ivan Hasek is back to the squad, while both Filip Zorvan and Martin Jedlicka have received their first call-ups.
Robert Prosinecki’s men, on the other hand, have defeated the likes of Gibraltar and Faroe Islands at home ground, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in Plzen. With Czech Republic being a real force to be reckoned with at home, we do not believe that the visitors are capable of grabbing something from their third group game. To make things even worse for the away team, Lazio wing-back Adam Marusic has been ruled out with injury.
Highlighted Player (Patrik Schick):
Patrick Schick is a Czech Republic international who plays for Sampdoria as a striker. Schick was born in Prague on January 24, 1996 and he started his career at the youth team of his home-town club Sparta Prague. The 187-cm-tall attacker, played only four games for the capital club before moving to Bohemians 1905 on loan in 2015.
After ending his loan spell with the Klokani, Patrick Schick moved to Italy, signing a deal with Serie A side Sampdoria for a fee of €4 million. The Czech footballer has been playing for La Samp ever since and you should know that he scored 11 goals in 32 appearances for the club in the 2016/2017 Serie A campaign.
The talented striker, who is very good in the air, scored on his debut for Czech Republic in a 6-0 win over Malta in May 2016. Patrick Schick’s preferred foot is left and his contract with Sampdoria should expire on June 30, 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.
