Wales visit Podgorica this coming Friday to take on Euro 2012 Group G rivals, Montenegro in what is being already billed as a vital match for them both. With England red hot favourites to win the Group, it is essential for both teams to get off to a winning start but it is the home side who have been given the burden of favouritism to achieve this. Ladbrokes quote Montenegro as 10/11 odds on to win the match, while Wales fans will be extremely tempted to take the 16/5 on offer for them to win and some will even take the 23/10 offered about the draw.
Montenegro v Wales LIVE on SC4 on Friday 3 September @ 1830.
Although Wales have lost several regulars through injury, manager, John Toshack can still call upon the likes of Craig Bellamy to lead the side and will also have the fantastic left sided talents of Gareth Bale at his disposal. With those two in the team and bolstered by the presence of midfielder, Joe Ledley, Millwalls leading striker, Steve Morison and mainstay defender, James Collins, from Aston Villa, we think Wales will be a match for most of the teams in the Group, let alone a modest Montenegro side. Wales could easily become the ‘dark horses’ of Group G.
Euro 2012 Group G Odds Comparison and Euro 2012 Information.
The two teams actually met in Podgorica a year ago in a friendly which Montenegro won by 2-1, but nothing should be too closely read into that result, Wales will have a much stronger team this time around and the Montenegro team have been weakened by the loss of star player, Stevan Jovetic. Add to the mix that In Bellamy and Morison, Wales have plenty of goal threat about them, Bellamy in fact is a 6/1 shot with Ladbrokes to open the scoring, while Morison and Robert Earnshaw, who will likely start on the bench are at 8/1.
Montenegro themselves have had a very lean time of it lately, winning only three times in all matches including friendlies in their last thirteen outings. They have lost to teams like Albania, Norway and Montenegro, all in the last few months and come into the game very exposed. They did beat a weakened Northern Ireland team last month in a ‘friendly’ by 2-0, with both goals scored by Radomir Dalovic, who is also a 6/1 shot to score the opening goal in this match. Favourite in that particular market is the AS Roma striker, Mirko Vucinic at 9/2; Vucinic has scored 9 times in 19 matches for his country and does represent a threat to Wales if allowed space to play.

We think that Wales can defy the odds of this match and come away with the three points. They will have to be at their very best and hope that Montenegro are not at theirs. Toshack will know that it is games like this that his side must start to get results from which means that punters can rest assured he will have his team well drilled to do so. We take Wales to win this match by one goal and would back both a 1-0 win at 7/1 and a 2-1 win at 12/1 with Ladbrokes bookmakers.
Selection 1: 2-1 win by Wales @ 12/1 (£25 Bet wins £300)
Selection 2: Steve Morison to score opening goal @ 8/1 (£25 Bet wins £200)
