Montenegro vs Turkey Preview

- Time: 08:00 PM GMT.
- Venue: Podgorica City Stadium.
Montenegro will be hosting Turkey on November 19 in the UEFA Nations League – League B on Tuesday night at Podgorica City Stadium. The host has been in terrible form lately, losing 5 games on a trot, conceding 8 goals, and netting just a single time. Montenegro has not only shown dreadful defending in their last five games but also shown a lack of discipline and lack of scoring edge in the box which has cost them so much.
On the other hand, Turkey has been undefeated in their last five outings winning thrice and drawing twice against the same time, Wales. Vincenzo Montella-led Turkey national football team has been in fine form as they have already scored 8 goals so far and have only conceded once that too against Iceland. They are looking impressive defending as well as while attacking.
Having said that, let’s take a look at the team news and predicted lineups for both sides ahead of this matchup.
