Wales continue their UEFA Nations League campaign on Monday night with a trip to Montenegro.

Craig Bellamy’s team started the completion with a 0-0 home draw against Turkey on Friday.

Montenegro begun with a 2-0 defeat at Iceland.

Kick off on Monday is at 7.45pm UK time. It is live on S4C and BBC iPlayer.

Montenegro are hosting a men’s senior international in Niksic, around 45 minutes north of the capital Podgorica, for the first time.

The decision was made only two weeks ago after UEFA ruled Podgorica’s National Stadium was unplayable because of craters on the surface and the large areas of grass that were missing.

Niksic’s City Stadium only holds around 5,000 and it remains to be seen whether playing there means Montenegro have lost a significant chunk of their home advantage.

Bellamy wants his arse kicked if he doesn’t start with a striker.

I doubt Colwill will start, only brought in as a late replacement.

Hope that Koumas starts up front and he drops Ramsey. I think Johnson should be dropped as well.

Bellamy pre match interview, he actually knows what he's talking about and how to manage a team. His predecessor didn't have a clue. Looking forward to watching this new look team and tactics.

0-2 inside 3 minutes & it's a good start? Understatement of the season there Paul.

If this was Rotherham this game would be called off by now!

Joking aside the ball is struggling to roll forward - so hope the rain stops.

Good shout, can't be any worse than our front line, maybe we could send him on loan abroad as well.

Can't watch the game but it sounds very much like it could get abandoned.

Not many on the pitch can miss the goal from the halfway line

Welsh defence is looking a bit shakey tonight. A better opponent would have punished us by now.

Totally agree, I'm hoping its just the pitch causing them havoc more than anything!

Some changes pending hopefully, O Copper struggling a bit imo but again it may be down to the water on the pitch slowing everything down.

We are creating our own problems with passing to much at back they're pressing us and we are giving them encouragement to keep doing it...

A good first half for Wales, but improvement needed in second half to see this game out without conceding.
