Craig Bellamy's team from Wales is going to Montenegro on Monday for their second game in the Nations League. They are hoping to secure their first victory of the season after a positive draw against Turkey last week.

Wales played to a 0-0 tie against Turkey at their home stadium. Despite the result, they dominated the game and will head to Montenegro with confidence as the expected winners.

A lot of attention leading up to the game has focused on the state of the field in Podgorica, with Uefa declaring the turf unsuitable for play and the match being relocated to Niksic.

However, following the outcome of last week's game in Bellamy's debut as coach, the focus has shifted to a more optimistic perspective on a team that previously faced difficulties and only managed a draw against Gibraltar in June.

Tonight's game will show Wales fans if Bellamy is truly a top player, or if last week's win was just a luck.

Here is all the information you need to know about the game.

When will the Montenegro vs Wales match take place?

The Montenegro versus Wales match starts at 7.45pm British Summer Time on Monday, 9 September at the Gradski Stadion in Niksic, Montenegro.

Wales does not have any fresh injury worries following the draw against Turkey. Craig Bellamy has a full squad to pick from despite a heated match in Cardiff.

Captain Aaron Ramsey has made his comeback to the team after being sidelined for a year due to injuries. He is likely to secure a spot in the starting lineup, but there is a possibility he could be shifted back to the midfield position after playing as a striker last week.

Sorba Thomas, who had a goal cancelled in the Cardiff match, probably performed well enough to stay in the team, while Brennan Johnson is expected to start in place of Dan James.

The defense should stay unchanged after a strong performance in the previous match, and Wilson and Ampadu are still key players in the midfield for Wales.

In Montenegro, coach Robert Prosinečki doesn't have any new injuries to worry about. He will probably choose a similar team to the one that lost 2-0 against Iceland in the last game.

Ex-Manchester City striker Stevan Jovetic, who used to be a key player for the team, was put on the bench in the last game but came on as a substitute. He may be given a starting position in the next game due to Nikola Krstović's poor performance.

It is probable that Lazio's Adam Marušić will maintain his position in the team, as will Preston North End's Milutin Osmajić.

Montenegro starting lineup for the match includes Mijativic in goal, Vukcevic, Tuci, Rubezic, and Radunovic in defense. In midfield, they have Marusic, Erakovic, Brnovic, and Jovovic, with Osmajic supporting Krstovic up front.

Welsh Team: Ward in goal; Roberts, Rodon, and Davies in defense; Williams in the backline. Wilson, Ampadu, and James in midfield; Johnson, Ramsey, and Thomas in attack.
