Preview
Montenegro has had a successful campaign in the UEFA Nations League, finishing second in Group B3.

The national team can experience confidence playing on home soil, which they have turned into a good record recently, losing just four of their last 16 matches.
However, they may find it very difficult for them against the Finnish team, as well as the team lost to them in the first match, with a score (0-2).
As you know, Montenegro won the last victory in mid-June, when they defeated Romania with a score (3-0) on the road.
The only victory against Montenegro was a high point for the team from Finland, which did not win after that meeting.
The national team are third in the group, with Romania only one point behind, only a win guaranteeing them a place in the second division after a (1-1) draw with Romania in last 4th place.
However, Finland will play away, where they have suffered three consecutive defeats in the Nations League.
