Montenegrin selector Dragan Adzic made too big of a cut for this European Championship and the players who are no longer in the team were too important. In this Montenegro team there isn't a single player who can replace the efficiency of right-back K. Bulatovic and right winger J. Radicevic. Not to mention the importance of A. Bulatovic's defense, the security that goalkeeper Barjaktarovic provided.... We have seen the level their team is at in their last two games against rejuvenated Croatia. The first game, which Croatia dominated, Montenegro lost 20-28, and in the second one they played a bit better, but still lost 17-21. Their middle-back Agovic got injured, she got some playing time in the Champions League, and that will put more pressure on captain Milena Raicevic, who had some injury problems in this period and missed the first week of preparations. Pretty much everything regarding their offense has come down to 19-year-old Jaukovic, who will be playing the role of the leader of this team for the first time, and as such she will get more attention from opposing defenses. Denmark had a quality preparation period, they achieved different results, but they played against the best teams, and they defeated Russia twice convincingly. They will be additionally motivated since Montenegro eliminated them from the Olympic qualifications, and they will be playing in Malmo, which is 20 kilometers from Copenhagen, almost at home. We should also mention that Montenegro will be playing against Czech Republic in two days, and they see that game as the most important game for them at this Championship, so in case the winners are decided early in this game, it is possible that Adzic could start rotating players earlier, which is also in favor of this pick.
