Romania vs Montenegro Prediction & Tips
They showed good offense under Cosmin Contra and I expect to rise to expectations and Friday night at Ilie Oana Stadium in Ploiesti.
As for the important absences from the Romanian camp, the only significant absence is that of the Liege Legitimate midfielder, Razvan Marin, who is also the most valuable player in the tricolor team – he will not be able to play because of a suspension.
For this match, Romania’s offensive will be based on strikers George Tucudean (CFR Cluj), Claudiu Keseru (Ludogorets) and 19-year-old Denis Dragus (FC Viitorul).
On the other hand, Ljubisa Tumbakovic has little reason to be pleased with his students since Montenegro eventually lost to the World Cup qualifying, finishing the third qualifying group. Victoria to the 1-0 scoring against Rumanía in the 7th round of the World Cup qualifying group was not enough, and will suffer two defeats against Denmark and Poland. Now Montenegro is trying to get back on the line of victories, but comes to Romania with a series of 6 consecutive games without a win in the back.
Montenegro is also confronted with important absences in the bout: most important player Stefan Jovetic has injured, Marko Vesovici (Legia Warsaw) accused a knee injury, Marko Jankovici (Partizan) has muscle problems. They can also add: Aleksandar Scekici who suffered an injury in the match between Partizan and Besiktas from the Europa League preliminaries, his presence being questioned by Zarko Tomasevici (Oostende) who has not gotten into the last minute to his club team, Luka Djordjevici (Arsenal Tula) who has the affected ligaments, Fatos Beciraj who has not yet found a club team, or Nikola Vukcevici who has not yet started his new team, Levante.
The 1-0 victory in September last year was Montenegro’s first victory so far against Romania. Tricolori won a 4-0 victory in 2008 and drew a 1-1 win in 2016 in Cluj.
