After a very bad EURO adventure, Turkey turns to qualifiers for the WC Qatar, and a match against Montenegro could be crucial to increase their level of confidence and battle against the Netherlands and Norway. Read our reasons for Turkey vs Montenegro prediction and betting tips.
Three lousy performances at EURO, and Turkey have to erase memories from matches against Italy, Switzerland, and Wales and continue to fly high in qualifiers for the next World Cup. They started brightly with two wins against Netherlands and Norway but a 3-3 draw at home against Latvia shaken their chances for the top place in this group at the end of the campaign. Head coach Senol Gunes was targeted as the main cause for disaster at EURO, as his tactics and team selection didn’t lead them to the results or performances they wanted. He is under immense pressure to succeed and stay in charge of their national team.
Team roster and selection for this window in qualifiers will depend on covid protocols that are very different from country to country so Güneş announced that four players will not be able to play in the Montenegro match. Ozan Kabak, Ozan Tufan, Halil Dervişoğlu and Çağlar Söyüncü are out, as Dorukhan Toköz who is subject to international transfer. Still, this is a highly rated team with players in the big leagues. At the start of the season Under is playing on a high level for Marseille, Calhanoglu was great in the first game in Milan shirt, Yilmaz is still the best player in French champions Lille.
Turkey: Gunok; Celik, Demiral, Muldur, Mbabu; Ahyan, Under, Kokcu, Kahveci, Calhanoglu; Yilmaz
Miodrag Radulovic's team, without Jovetic and a dozen other players, will visit Turkey in their toughest match so far in their group. After wins against Latvia and Gibraltar, Montenegro was defeated against Norway 1-0 at home. Tough matches are expected in September, the two most difficult at the beginning of the mini-cycle, because the Netherlands away is the next after Turkey, so a very difficult situation due to injuries and other circumstances, as covid protocols. Problems are nothing new for Montenegro, they are used to it. Many campaigns were determined in the same way for them, because Jovetic or Vucinic earlier, as main football stars in this country, couldn’t help because of injuries. The list is now even bigger, as main striker Mugosa is also out because of covid protocols. The only positive sign is that other players from the presumably starting lineup are healthy and playing big minutes in their teams.
Montenegro will try to make a surprise, but the timing is bad. Jovetić, Vukčević, and Mugoša are starters and key players and they are out, valuable team members, Islamović, Savićević, and Hočko are injured, Bakić, Jovović, and Boljević are without a club at the moment. This group lacks creativity and quality, but they will try to fight for every ball. They could be dangerous at set-pieces but Turkey should win with ease if score on time. Just a few players had one training in Podgorica, some joined the team in Istanbul, so they will have just one easy training together and a longer video session before the game.
Montenegro: Mijatovic; Marusic, Vujacic, Savic, Tomasevic; Lagator, Haksabanovic, Scekic, Kosovic; Durdevic, Beciraj

Montenegro will try to slow the rhythm and score from set-pieces because they are without creativity when Jovetić is out injured. Turkey is a heavy favorite and pressure will be enormous if they don't win this game. BettingKick’s Turkey vs Montenegro prediction is: Home win.

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
