England vs Montenegro Odds 26/03/2013
Published on March 25th, 2013 1:28 am ESTEngland will do battle against Montenegro in a World Cup 2014 qualifying game on Tuesday, March 26th.
This is a key battle between the two top teams in Group H. Montenegro currently sits at the top of the group with a total of 13 points after 5 games, while England is in second place with 11 points after 5 games. A win for Montenegro would give them a stranglehold over the group, while a win for England would move them into the top spot. The top team in each group moves forward to the World Cup, while the second place teams square off in a battle for four remaining playoff spots.
Qualifying for the World Cup would be a big, big deal for Montenegro, as they have never qualified for a major soccer tournament. The team finished in fifth place in their group in the World Cup 2010 qualifiers and finished just short of a spot for Euro 2012.
