da bet7： After Friday’s 8-0 victory over San Marino, England will certainly expect to be tested a bit more against Montenegro. The Eastern Europeans currently lead Group H and will look to extend their two-point lead over the Three Lions. Although they are behind in points and will travel to Montenegro for the match, Hititbet.com puts England as the favourites to win tonight’s qualifier.
da pixbet： Recently, Montenegro striker Mirko Vucinic told Sky Sports he agrees that England are the favourites. The captain was quoted by Sky Sports, “England are still one of the best teams and they start as favourites to win this match.”
However, he believes the odds makers have misjudged this match. Vuninic, who plays his club football for Juventus, plans to take advantage of England’s depleted back line. “We have a stronger selection of players this time than in the Euros – and England have a weaker defence because some of their players can’t play.”
Despite Vucinic’s confidence his club did not look convincing during their 0-1 victory at Moldova on Friday. However, they remain in good position to qualify for their first World Cup as an independent country. The Montenegro national football team was formed in 2007. Since then, they have failed to qualify for the 2010 World Cup and 2012 European Cup.
A key player to watch for Montenegro is Stevan Jovetic. The Fiorentina striker has scored 12 goals in 20 appearances for his club this season. The young striker is expected to move to the Premier League this summer.
Roy Hodgson is expected to make multiple changes to the starting XI featured against San Marino. Danny Welbeck, Steven Gerrard, and Glen Johnson will be well rested after sitting out Friday’s match. One definite change will be replacing Theo Walcott, who sustained a pelvic strain against San Marino.
English fans can expect more from Wayne Rooney than his last outing in Montenegro. Eighteen months ago in Podgorica, Rooney jeopardised his 2012 Euro campaign when he was sent off with a red card. The Manchester United striker was in great form during Friday’s match, netting one goal and leading the eight-goal rout.
Montenegro are 3/1 to win with HitItBet.com, while visiting England are 8/11 on.
