Montenegro vs England: Euro 2020 qualifier prediction, squads, odds, live stream, TV channel, tickets

Montenegro vs England
Euro 2020 qualifying
Venue: Podgorica City Stadium

Date: Monday, 25 March, 2019
Kick-off: 7:45pm GMT

England's Euro 2020 qualifying campaign continues with a trip to Montenegro on Monday night as the Three Lions look to make it two wins from two.

Gareth Southgate's side kicked off Group A in fine fashion as Raheem Sterling bagged a Wembley hat-trick to seal a 5-0 win over Czech Republic on Monday night.

That result leaves England top of the table on goal difference after one game, and Southgate's men can take a big step towards next summer's Euro 2020 finals with a win on the road on Monday.


England squad, team news and predicted line-up

Southgate will make changes to freshen up his team, saying: "I think we need to find the balance between freshness and continuity, so that's been on our mind most of the week.

England plan to head to the Balkans with just 20 players, having seen his initial selection hit by seven withdrawals.

Eric Dier became the latest after suffering a hip issue in the first half on Friday, meaning Declan Rice could make his first start after coming on for his debut against the Czechs.

Callum Hudson-Odoi - one of just two additions to the injury-hit squad - also made his senior bow on Friday, when the 18-year-old substitute replaced Duncan Edwards as his country's youngest ever competitive debutant.

The Three Lions were at their fluent, lethal best against Czech Republic, and Southgate will expect more of the same on Monday.

The manager says he will rotate the squad and that could in turn produce a more workmanlike performance, but England will still expect a relatively comfortable victory.
