Montenegro vs Turkey Prediction: 19/11/2024

Montenegro is set to face Turkey in Tuesday’s Nations League match, with both teams aiming for a positive result. Here’s a breakdown of their recent performances, head-to-head statistics, and predictions for the game.

 

Montenegro

Montenegro will look to bounce back from their recent 1-0 loss to Wales in the Nations League. In that match, Montenegro struggled offensively, managing just 34% possession and five attempts without registering a single shot on target. Wales, in contrast, had 14 attempts, with Harry Wilson scoring the only goal in the 36th minute.

Recent form hasn’t favored Montenegro, as they have scored only two goals in their last six matches while conceding 11. Their attacking struggles have contributed to a poor run, and they’ll need a sharper performance to challenge Turkey.

 

Turkey

Turkey enters the game in strong form following a 4-2 victory over Iceland. During that match, Turkey dominated with 64% possession and 24 shots, 12 of which were on target. Goals came from İrfan Can Kahveci, Hakan Çalhanoğlu, Arda Güler, and Kerem Aktürkoğlu. Iceland managed 12 attempts, with Orri Steinn Óskarsson and Andri Guðjohnsen finding the net.

Under Vincenzo Montella, Turkey has been efficient in front of goal, scoring 11 times in their last six matches for an average of 1.83 goals per game. Their attacking momentum will be key as they face Montenegro.

 

Head-to-Head Record

The last meeting between these two teams took place on October 11, 2024, during the Nations League. Turkey secured a 1-0 win thanks to İrfan Can Kahveci’s goal in the 69th minute. In that game, Turkey controlled 64% possession and registered 29 shots, with nine on target. Montenegro managed 10 attempts, with two on target.

 

Team News

Both teams have fully fit squads for the match. Montenegro manager Robert Prosinečki and Turkey coach Vincenzo Montella have no injury concerns, allowing them to select their best lineups.

 

Prediction

Montenegro is likely to find the net, but their attacking struggles may not be enough against a more clinical Turkey side. Turkey’s recent form and attacking prowess give them the edge in this matchup.

The predicted result is a narrow 2-1 victory for Turkey, with the game expected to be closely contested. Experts anticipate over 1.5 goals in what promises to be an intriguing encounter.
