Montenegro Team News

Placed in a group with Serbia and Hungary, Montenegro was perceived as having fewer chances of qualifying for EURO 2024, which proved true with their third-place finish in Group G. However, there are positive aspects to be drawn from finishing just three points behind a strong team like Serbia, giving reason for optimism in the future. In their last 11 international matches, Montenegro has recorded five wins and two draws, though it’s worth noting that the draw against Hungary may be their most significant result.

This marks a new beginning for Montenegro with Robert Prosinečki as the new coach, and his era began with a 2-0 victory over Belarus. This match was the first of two played in Turkey, with Antalya being the location for Monday’s match against North Macedonia.

Prosinečki has frequently changed the lineup against Belarus, and it’s likely he’ll make changes to the Montenegro team to assess the abilities of his players. Stefan Savić and Stefan Mugoša were noticeable unused substitutes in the last match and could return to positions in the center of defense and attack. Goalkeeper Matija Šarkić from Millwall might be included for his eighth appearance, while the only new player in the squad is midfielder Miloš Brnović, who will be hoping for his debut.

North Macedonia Team News

It’s been just two years since the Lions famously defeated Italy in the World Cup playoffs before subsequently losing 2-0 to Portugal. There was an expectation that North Macedonia would continue to build on that success, but since then, they have only managed six victories in 20 matches, with their most notable win being against Armenia in a friendly match.

However, they have managed to secure several draws against Italy and England in the EURO 2024 qualifiers, giving Blagoja Milevski hope for the team’s progress. Nevertheless, in their last outing, Milevski saw his team held to a 1-1 draw at home against Moldova, conceding a goal eight minutes before the end of the match, leaving the team without a win in their last three matches.

While fewer changes are expected in the North Macedonia lineup, Milevski will likely refresh his team in several positions. Bojan Dimoski could be an option at left-back or in midfield, as well as Agon Elezi in midfield, while Aleksandar Trajkovski could also return to the squad, considering he did not play on Friday.
