World Cup qualifiers 2026: Montenegro-Czech Republic, likely lineups

In Group L of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers, Montenegro receives the Czech Republic. Kickoff at 8:45 p.m. at ‘Podgorica City Stadium’. A challenge that is worth the top of the group, with the Czechs called upon to defend the lead from Montenegrin assaults, as well as competition from Croatia.

Prosinecki hopes to be able to recover Osmajic to give him the role of center forward, with Bakic and Bulatovic in midfield and the Radulovic-Adzic-Camaj trio in support in the three-quarter.

On the opposite front, Hasek is banking on a solid set-up with Sadilek and Soucek alongside outfielders Cedidla and Provod in the midfield, while in attack the trident will consist of Sulc, Schick and Cerny.

Montenegro (4-2-3-1): Popovic; Vukcevic, Rubezic, Sipcic, A. Vukcevic; Bakic, Bulatovic; Radulovic, Adzic, Camaj; Osmajic. Coach: Prosinecki.
