Montenegro take on the visitors Romania in the round 1 match of League B in UEFA Nations League. The match will be played on Saturday, June 4th at Stadion Pod Goricom (Podgorica).
Montenegro clearly cannot use its considerable potential. "Brave Falcons" are the worst of all the former republics of Yugoslavia. Already even North Macedonia was able to prove itself by qualifying to the Euro. And this team still fails to be something more than just one of average teams in European football. Last year, as part of the qualification for the World Cup, they managed to take only 12 points, and this was only the 4th result in the group. Montenegrins were overtaken not only by the Dutch and Turks, but also by Norway. However, Jovetic is already 32, and Stevan's health is not getting better. Although there are other sensible performers, including those in the current application, first of all, Savic and Marusic. But we note that for various reasons there is no Savelich, Vukcevic and Bechiray.

Romania gradually slipped to the status of one of the mediocre teams. The “yellows” in this century, at first, at least made their way to the Euro sometimes, however, both in 2008 and in 2016, haven’t passed further the group stages. The team has not been at the World Cup since the legendary "gang" of the 90s. There are simply no players of this level now. The captain, Chirikesh, plays in Sassuolo, there are a few other players from Serie A or B in Italy. But in general, the list is not impressive, so it is not surprising that the results are as average as the application. So, in the selection for the next World Cup, the team managed to lose the dispute for the 2nd place of North Macedonia! It is not surprising that the mentor has changed, now it is Edward Yordenescu, the son of a very famous and successful specialist, Angel. In March, they had 2 control matches, and very unsuccessfully: 0-1 with Greece, 2-2 with Israel. The lineup has partially changed, no Kesher, Stanch, Mana, Nedelchar. But there are only 2 potential debutants from field players.
In the selection for the 2018 World Cup, Montenegro was a little better: 1-1 and 1-0. In the framework of the first League of Nations, Romania took revenge: 0-0, 1-0. This pair does not expect bright football. Most likely, it will be the same now - we bet on "total less than 2.0"
Prediction for the match: Under 2.0 scored goals.
