 Turkey and Montenegro meet in an important UEFA Nations League clash at the Samsun 19 Mayis Stadium , with the hosts looking to maintain their strong form and push for promotion. Currently sitting at the top of League B Group 4 with four points from two matches , Turkey aims to build on their recent success , while Montenegro finds themselves at the bottom of the group , yet to secure a point.

After reaching the quarter-finals of Euro 2024 , Turkey has made a promising start to their Nations League campaign. They kicked things off with a goalless draw against Wales , followed by an impressive 3-1 victory over Iceland , where Kerem Akturkoglu shone with a hat-trick , including a stunning long-range goal. Under the management of Vincenzo Montella , Turkey has won seven of their last 15 matches , showcasing a resurgence in form. With a FIFA ranking of 26th , they are confident heading into this encounter , particularly given their unbeaten record against Montenegro in previous meetings.

Conversely , Montenegro is struggling significantly , having lost their first two Nations League matches against Iceland (0-2) and Wales (1-2) and suffering a total of four consecutive defeats in all competitions. Robert Prosinecki , appointed head coach in February , faces the challenge of steering his team away from the relegation zone. Montenegro currently sits 74th in the FIFA rankings and is determined to avoid a new record of five consecutive losses since gaining independence in 2007.

 Team News 

Turkey: The hosts will be without first-choice goalkeeper Mert Gunok due to injury , with Ugurcan Cakir expected to step in as the starter. Other notable absentees include Dogan Alemdar , Caglar Soyuncu , Cenk Ozkacar , Ozan Kabak , and Ismail Yuksek. Baris Alper Yilmaz returns from suspension and is likely to lead the line alongside the talented Kerem Akturkoglu. Brighton's Ferdi Kadioglu is set to start at left-back , and experienced players like Hakan Calhanoglu and Arda Guler will provide creativity and experience in midfield.

 Montenegro: Despite an eight-match ban for biting an opponent , Preston North End forward Milutin Osmajic has been called up and is available for selection , although experienced striker Stevan Jovetic could replace him in the starting lineup. The midfield is likely to feature Milos Brnovic and Vladimir Jovovic , while Lazio's Adam Marusic may play at right-back. Montenegro is desperate for a turnaround after a tough stretch , so they will need their key players to step up.

 Possible Lineups

 Turkey:  

Cakir, Muldur, Demiral, Bardakci, Kadioglu, Calhanoglu, Kokcu, Guler, Kahveci, Akturkoglu, Yilmaz  

 Montenegro:

 Key Players

 Turkey:  

- Arda Guler: The young attacking midfielder is a creative force for Turkey. His vision and passing ability can unlock defenses , making him pivotal in creating scoring opportunities. His connection with the forwards will be crucial in this match.

 - Burak Yilmaz: The seasoned striker brings experience and a goal-scoring instinct to the Turkish frontline. Yilmaz's ability to finish chances and hold up play will be vital as Turkey seeks to dominate the game and convert their opportunities into goals.

 Montenegro:  

- Stefan Mugosa: As a forward , Mugosa will be key in leading Montenegro’s attack. His physicality and aerial ability can pose problems for the Turkish defense , and he will look to capitalize on any chances created by his teammates.

 - Luka Krstovic: The midfielder is crucial for Montenegro's attacking rhythm. His passing and ability to support both defensive and offensive phases will be important as Montenegro looks to find a way through a solid Turkish defense.

 Prediction

Turkey enters this match as favorites , given their recent form and head-to-head record against Montenegro. With a potent attack and a solid home advantage , they will aim to secure all three points and strengthen their position at the top of the group. Montenegro , on the other hand , will be desperate for a turnaround but may find it difficult against a confident Turkish side. A 2-0 victory for Turkey seems a likely outcome in this encounter.
