Friendly International
On March 31, a friendly match will take place between the national teams of Montenegro and Slovenia. Which of the European qualifying underachievers will come out on top?
Montenegro vs Slovenia: Team News and Expert Analysis
Montenegro did not perform well in World Cup qualification. Over 8 matches, the team managed to collect only 9 points, finishing in 4th place, next-to-last in their group. Montenegro even fell behind the Faroe Islands in terms of points. The team also performed poorly in the Nations League, which resulted in a relegation to the third-strength C division.
The situation is not much better for Slovenia. In 6 World Cup qualifying matches, the team managed to earn just 4 points, which apparently was not enough to reach the main stage of the tournament. In their group, Slovenia finished 3rd, behind Switzerland and Kosovo. The tricolors took the same position in the Nations League, forcing them to play in the relegation playoffs to keep their spot. There, Slovenia narrowly beat Slovakia.

The teams have not met in official matches, but they did face each other in friendlies in 2007, 2018, and 2022. The first encounter ended in a draw, while Slovenia claimed victory in the following two games.
