Wales will look to build on their recent stalemate with Turkey as they resume their 2024-25 UEFA Nations League B campaign with a match against Montenegro on Monday evening.
Craig Bellamy's side earned a valuable point in their goalless draw with Turkey last time out. In contrast, Montenegro started their Group 4 League B campaign with a 2-0 loss to Iceland.
Montenegro enjoyed several promising moments during their Euro 2024 qualification run, yet they narrowly missed out on the finals, finishing third in Group G behind Hungary and Serbia.
The Brave Falcons had hoped to kick off their Nations League campaign with a win, but they suffered a 2-0 defeat to Iceland on Friday.
Wales, meanwhile, faced disappointment in their bid to qualify for Euro 2024, falling short in a penalty shootout against Poland during the playoffs. They also had a tough June, drawing with Gibraltar and suffering a 4-0 loss to Slovakia in their friendly matches.
Despite these setbacks, their 2024-25 Nations League campaign began on a bright note. They managed to secure a goalless draw against a strong Turkey side on Friday, earning their first point in Group 4 of League B.
