With four games to go, Montenegro are sitting in the number one spot in Group H ahead of England, Poland, Ukraine, Moldova and San Marino. This is an important match for the ex-Yugoslav nation who are looking to qualify for their first major tournament. Montenegro are undefeated so far in the group with four wins and two draws. They most recently tied England at home 1-1.

Ukraine have five games left to play in the qualifiers and they are trailing Montenegro by six points. This is a must win game for Ukraine if they are to keep pace for a top two finish in the group which could see them qualify for Brazil. Most recently Ukraine beat Moldova 2-1 at home.

Lets take a look at the odds for the upcoming match in Podgorica:

Montenegro: 11/8
Draw: 11/5
Ukraine: 2/1

Montenegro are the favourites to win at home. A $100 bet on Montenegro yields $137 in profit is successful, while the same bet on Ukraine could return $200.

The most likely score on Friday, according to the odds, is a 1-1 draw offered at 5/1, followed by a 1-0 victory for the hosts offered at 11/2.

Can Montenegro continue their amazing run? A win over Ukraine is crucial as they still have to face 3rd place Poland, 2nd place England and 5th place Moldova before the qualifiers are over. First place finish would earn then direct placement to the World Cup in Brazil which would be an amazing feat for the small Balkan nation.

Lets see what Ukraine will have to say to all that on Friday June 7th at Podgorica City Stadium.

This should be an entertaining match!
