Montenegro vs Turkey Prediction and Betting Tips | November 19th 2024
Montenegro and Turkey draw the curtains in Group B4 of the UEFA Nations League when they lock horns at the Gradski Stadion Niksic on Tuesday. Both nations have had a contrasting run of results, with Robert Prosinecki’s men heading into the group finale as the only side in the group yet to pick up any points in the campaign.
Montenegro failed to stop the rot in the Nations League as they suffered a 2-0 defeat against Iceland at the Gradski Stadion Niksic on Saturday. Prosinecki’s side have now lost their five games in Group B4 and have suffered seven straight defeats across all competitions and friendlies since the start of June.
A lack of cutting edge in front of goal has been their major shortcoming as they have managed just one goal across the five group games while shipping eight at the opposite end of the pitch.
While Montenegro are currently rooted to the bottom of the table, Turkey will head into Tuesday’s group finale looking to clinch top spot and secure automatic promotion into League A.
Vincenzo Montella’s men saw their 100% record in the Nations League come to an end at the weekend when they were held to a goalless draw by Wales at the Kadir Has Stadium.
Turkey have picked up 11 points from a possible 15 in Group B4 to sit top of the standings, two points above second-placed Wales.
