Latest Montenegro vs Czech team information
Montenegro will be forced to make at least two changes from the first leg as goalkeeper Igor Nikic and defender Marko Vesovic are absent due to injury. Danijel Petkovic is likely to start, while Marko Vucevic is expected to fill in at right-back if coach Prosinecki sticks with a three-man defence.
For the Czech Republic, the change is certain to be at right-back as Vladimir Coufal is not available. Tomas Holes could move back to the right wing, while Martin Vitik is brought in as a central defender. Apart from that, the majority of the squad is likely to remain the same as the loss to Croatia.
Lukas Cerv is also an option for the midfield if coach Hasek wants to refresh the midfield, in case Michal Sadilek is pushed to the bench.

Latest Montenegro vs Czech football prediction
In the last 10 matches, Montenegro only won 2 and lost 7 times, even though most of the opponents were considered equal.
On the plus side, both wins came in World Cup qualifying, when they overcame Gibraltar and the Faroe Islands. However, the 1-0 win over the Faroe Islands was only decided by a 96th-minute goal, suggesting that Robert Prosinecki’s side have not been particularly convincing.
However, this result still helps Montenegro maintain the chance to compete for a place in the top 2 of Group L, despite losing 0-2 in the first leg against the opponent they will meet again on Friday - the Czech Republic.
In that match, the Czech Republic easily controlled the game, leading 2-0 after the 63rd minute and kept a clean sheet until the end of the match. This was also Montenegro's 6th consecutive defeat against this opponent, since the first encounter 14 years ago.
By contrast, the Czech Republic had previously been on an eight-game unbeaten run, until being thrashed 5-1 by Croatia in June. Despite holding their opponents to a draw until the 60th minute, Ivan Hasek’s side completely collapsed in the final 30 minutes in Osijek.
With that result, the Czech Republic is only 3 points ahead of Montenegro, having played one more game and only having a better goal difference of +2. The opportunity is still open for Montenegro, but to take advantage, they need to win all 3 points while still having to face Croatia twice.
