Our Prediction for the Match Montenegro vs Turkey
The Brave Falcons have earned a reputation as perennial underachievers in European football, never managing to qualify for a major tournament. Last year, they had a realistic chance of securing second place but ultimately fell three points short of neighboring Serbia. The Janissaries, on the other hand, secured early qualification for the Euros. At the tournament, they defeated Georgia and the Czech Republic in the group stage and Austria in the playoffs before being eliminated by the Netherlands in the quarterfinals.
Montella's team maintained their momentum in the Nations League. After a scoreless draw against Wales in the opening round, Turkey won every subsequent game—twice against Iceland and once against Montenegro. In their November home match against Wales, they had an opportunity to clinch first place. However, Aktürkoğlu missed a penalty in the 89th minute, and the match ended 0-0.
Robert Prosinečki took over Montenegro, moving to Podgorica earlier this year. While there were some promising performances in friendlies during the first half of the year, the team has since turned into a clear outsider, losing every match this autumn—albeit mostly by a narrow margin. Against Iceland in the previous round, they held out until the 74th minute but ultimately lost 0-2 at home.
