ENGLAND kicked off their campaign in good style by beating Czech Republic 5-0 at Wembley on Friday. Montenegro picked up a point (1-1) on the road in Bulgaria in their quest to qualify for a major tournament for the first time. Interestingly, England have beaten tonight’s hosts just once in 4 previous meetings but have never lost. Defensive solidity is the foundation of Montenegro’s approach and that worked for a large period against Bulgaria, as they held out the hosts for 82 minutes of that game. England bring a much stronger attack however with Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling leading the line for the three lions. The latter has been in superb form of late, scoring 10 goals in his 7 most recent games for both club and country, including a hat-trick last time out. With England on a 4 game win streak and Montenegro winning just 2 of their last 10 games (D4, L4), the visitors can be expected to come away with all 3 points.
England made a great start to their Euro 2020 qualifying campaign beating the Czech Republic 5-0 at Wembley. The win followed their success earlier in the season when winning their UEFA Nations League group and qualifying for June's semi-finals. They have won five of their last six games scoring 14 goals. England have a strong European Championship qualifying record and have won their last 11 games with clean sheets in each of the last five. Away form has seen them undefeated in their last nine Euro qualifiers with the last defeat being to Russia in 2006.
Montenegro could only draw their first group match away in Bulgaria on Friday evening. They led 1-0 but Bulgaria equalized with a penalty eight minutes from time.Their Nations League campaign saw them finish third behind Serbia and Romania in League C. Montenegro have only won two of their last 13 games and both were against Lithuania, that's the Lithuania who lost to Luxembourg on Friday. At home, they have won one of their last six games, only managing to score in two of them. They last met England in the 2014 World Cup qualifying stages drawing 1-1 at home and losing 4-1 away. England are the clear form pick and can get another three points from this match.
