Serbia vs Montenegro Prediction & Betting Tips (17 October)

Eliminated in the group stage of the World Cup in Qatar behind Switzerland and Brazil, Serbia obviously hopes to qualify for the Euro in order to gain consistency in major competitions. Since its independence, this Serbian selection has never participated in a European Championship but it could ward off fate this time even if its defeat conceded last weekend in Hungary 2-1 put a blow to its chances qualifying.

In the standings, the Aigles Blancs maintain 2nd place in the standings with 2 points ahead of their opponent of the day but one match ahead

Within this Serbian selection, note the withdrawals of the crucial Lazovic (Hellas Verona), Grujic (Porto), the replacement Ilic (Troyes), and the rather disappointing striker Jovic (Milan). Let us add to this list that the defender Ristic and especially the imperial scorer of Juventus Vlahovic (23 caps, 13 goals including 3 in these qualifiers) had to leave the group due to physical discomfort. On the other hand, the coach decided to renew his confidence in the captains like the defenders Gudelj (Seville), Milenkovic (Fiorentina) and Pavlovic (RB Salzburg) and the midfielders Tadic (Fenerbahce, 101 sel, 21 goals), Kostic (Juventus), Milinkovic Savic (Al Hilal), Maksimovic (Getafe) and Radonjic (Torino). Certainly leaving the Premier League for the Saudi League, Mitrovic (Al Hilal, 84 selections, 55 goals) is still an executive in this selection and he will be present this evening. On the Montenegro paper, there was some commotion compared to the September truce with in particular the absences of midfielders Scekic (40 sel), Haksabanovic (Stoke City, 33 sel) and Savicevic (19 caps).

). The goalkeepers Dragojevic (2 caps) and Sarkic (Millwall, 7 caps) were also zapped by the coach. On the other hand, the former resident of Monaco Jovetic (Olympiakos, 32 goals in 71 seasons), the vice-captain of the selection, Savic (Atlético Madrid, 9 goals in 70 caps) without forgetting Marusic (Lazio, 57 seasons) and the crucial defender of FC Bucharest, Radunovic (32 caps) is very present. This is also the case of Lecce striker Krstovic (author of his first two goals for the national team during these qualifiers) and midfielder Kuc who scored twice in a friendly against Lebanon last week.
