On Monday, March 27, Montenegro and Serbia will face off in Group G of the 2024 European Championship qualifiers at the Podgorica City Stadium. Both teams will try to maintain their impressive start to the season after winning their respective openers.
With a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Hungary on Friday (March 24), Montenegro kicked off their quest for a spot in Germany on a high note. Prior to that, the Brave Falcons had lost three of their previous four games, including consecutive defeats to Finland and Bosnia & Herzegovina in their final two UEFA Nations League matches.
For the first time since defeating Latvia and Gibraltar in March 2021, Montenegro will now attempt to win two consecutive competitive games.
In the meantime, Dusan Tadic and his namesake Vlahovic scored as Serbia defeated Lithuania 2-0 in their Group G opener on Friday. Prior to that, Dragan Stojkovic’s team had a subpar performance at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where they were eliminated from the group stage before winning a 2-1 friendly match against the United States on January 26.
Against a Montenegro team that has lost their previous two games, Serbia will bet on themselves to pick up where they left off.
