Should tonightâs game end goalless, at least weâll have witnessed some history. Which is probably overselling things a tad, but facts are facts. Walesâ last two home matches have ended 0-0 (against Poland and Turkey) and theyâve never had three home goalless draws in a row before. Hmm. This is a little bit more inspiring, though: should Craig Bellamy avoid defeat, heâll become the first Wales manager to remain unbeaten after his first four matches. Bellamy may be all about the entertainment, but the man gets results as well.
Wales have won the last two of their four meetings with Montenegro, having lost both of the first two. We didnât MBM the most recent, played last month under rainy skies in NikÅ¡iÄ, but the game did get the Clockwatch treatment, which amounted to nearly the same. So reliving that success is still possible. That success is Walesâ only win in their past nine Nations League matches, the others ending in three draws and five defeats.
Wales make seven changes to the starting XI named for the 2-2 draw in Iceland. Neco Williams, Harry Wilson, Joe Rodon and captain Ben Davies are the only players to keep their place. Joe Allen, out of international retirement, is named on the bench, alongside uncapped defender Owen Beck. Oxford striker Mark Harris makes his first start.
