Montenegro is set to gear up for their important Euro 2024 qualifier against Serbia next week through a friendly match against Lebanon in Podgorica on Thursday. Meanwhile, the visiting Lebanon team is also getting ready for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers and Asian Cup commitments.

Montenegro’s focus primarily lies on their upcoming crucial Euro 2024 qualifier against Serbia, where they must win to maintain control of their destiny. However, this seems challenging as they’ve lost all three previous meetings with their neighbors since their separation shortly before the 2006 World Cup. If Montenegro wins all three remaining qualifiers, they’ll secure their first major tournament qualification as an independent nation. Miodrag Radulovic’s team, after a series of unusual results in September, is warming up for the Serbia clash with a friendly against a mid-ranking AFC nation. Their recent games include ending a four-game winless streak with a 96th-minute victory over Bulgaria but also a disappointing 2-2 draw with Lithuania.

Manager Radulovic expects a win in this upcoming match to set Montenegro on the right track before their crucial trip to Belgrade. However, their recent record in friendly matches over the past year hasn’t been favorable. They couldn’t secure victories in the last three, drawing against Slovakia, losing to Slovenia, and suffering a 4-1 defeat at home against the Czech Republic. Lebanon, although ranked outside the world’s top 100 nations, has faced challenges. They had difficulties in World Cup qualifying, reaching the semi-finals in the King’s Cup and the SAFF Championship, and now look ahead to 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Palestine. The upcoming Asian Cup in January presents another tough challenge for Lebanon, grouped with Qatar, China, and Tajikistan.
