Matches in Group H of the UEFA Nations League continue next week, with Montenegro and Wales set to meet for the first time in more than 13 years.
Montenegro have been on the rise in recent years in terms of football. The Brave Falcons lost just two of their eight matches in the 2024 EURO qualifiers and avoided defeat in three of their six matches in the last Nations League.
Wales meanwhile have been in decline. The Dragons also didn't qualify for Euro 2024 and took just one point from their three games at the World Cup in Qatar. Before that, Craig Bellamy's side had their worst Nations League campaign in 2022-24, taking just one point from six games.
Montenegro vs Wales Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
The defeat to Iceland in Montenegro’s first game just went further to highlight how scoring goals have been difficult for them in recent months. Robert Prosinečki’s side have now found the back of the net just twice in their last four matches. All but one of those encounters ended with under 2.5 goals.
Wales have not also had much joy when it comes to scoring goals lately. Indeed, the visitors failed to score in all their last four matches, including friendlies. Three of those games didn’t produce a goal and I think we could be in for a similar outcome on Monday.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
- Montenegro vs Wales prediction: 0-1

Montenegro team news
Montenegro didn’t register any injuries in the defeat to Iceland last time out, but head coach Robert Prosinečki is expected to make changes to make changes to his XI.
Having all featured as substitutes in that encounter, Stefan Mugoša and Stevan Jovetić will hope to benefit from this reshuffle.
