With the hosts eyeing qualification for the knockout phase, here’s our Wales Vs Montenegro team news and predicted lineups ahead of this evening’s Nations League clash in Cardiff.

Wales Coughed up a two-goal advantage against Iceland in Reykjavik on Friday, but remain unbeaten in Nations League B Group 4.

Craig Bellamy’s side took the lead through Brennan Johnson and Harry Wilson. But Iceland super-sub Logi Tomasson scored before playing a big part in Danny Ward’s own goal to earn back a point for his team.

The Welsh are now second in their group, with a win and two draws from their first three matches. They trail group leaders Turkey by two points.

Wales and Turkey played out a goalless draw in September before a 2-1 win in Montenegro put the Dragons in a good position to qualify.

Montenegro meanwhile have lost all of their games so far, with their goal against Wales last month the only time they’ve been on the score sheet.

The last four meetings between Wales and Montenegro have ended with two wins a piece. Wales’ only win in their last nine Nations League matches was the victory over tonight’s opponents in September.
