Our prediction for Montenegro vs Wales
The "Brave Falcons" failed to qualify for the Euros—continuing their streak of missing out on major tournaments since their separation from Serbia. Wales, even without Bale, made a determined effort to reach the championship but fell short in the 2023 qualifying group, losing out to Turkey and Croatia. In March’s playoff, they thrashed Finland 4-1 in Cardiff, but after a 0-0 draw in the next match, they lost to Poland in a penalty shootout.
Since then, Wales has brought in a new coach, Craig Bellamy, who has made several changes to the squad. Notably absent are Hennessey, Brooks, and Broadhead, with James sidelined due to injury. Montenegro, now under new coach Robert Prosinečki, has also revamped its squad, leaving out players like Janković and Kosović, while Kuč was injured at the last moment.
Jovetić and his team started their campaign with an away game against Iceland but showed little in Reykjavik, losing 0-2. Meanwhile, Wales hosted Turkey in Cardiff, and despite gaining a one-man advantage for the last half-hour, they still failed to score, ending in a 0-0 draw.
