Wales vs Montenegro Prediction, Betting Tips and Lineups: Back Harry Wilson to score

Wales will look to extend their unbeaten start to life under manager Craig Bellamy when they take on Montenegro at the Cardiff City Stadium tonight, live on S4C and BBCiPlayer at 7:45pm.
After landing both bets in Wales' 2-2 draw away to Iceland, we're back with two Nations League tips for tonight's game.
Wales vs Montenegro Predictions
Wales will be without the in-form Brennan Johnson this evening due to a suspension. It's a blow for the hosts given that the Spurs forward is currently on a sizzling seven-game scoring streak, including the opening goal in the 2-2 draw against Iceland.
Nevertheless, manager Craig Bellamy will be optimistic about maintaining his unbeaten record, having secured a win and two draws in his first three matches in charge. This includes a 2-1 victory in Montenegro last month.
Wales are favoured at 4/7 to go on and claim the double over Montenegro, who have suffered five consecutive losses and have been defeated in 10 of their last 14 away matches.
However, the odds of 11/10 for Wales to be ahead at half-time present a more attractive option.
Under Bellamy, Wales have started games extremely strongly. In last month's 2-1 win in Montenegro, the Dragons stormed into a blink-and-you'll-miss-it 2-0 lead, leaving their opponents shell-shocked. It then took Wales all of 11 minutes to take the lead against Iceland last week, while they were 2-0 up within 29 minutes.

When Wales beat Montenegro last month it was Harry Wilson who scored the second and ultimately decisive goal.
The Fulham player backed this up with another goal on Friday in the 2-2 draw away to Iceland and I believe he represents an appealing price at 13/5 with CopyBet to go on and score for the third Nations League game in a row.
In Johnson's absence, Wales will look to Wilson to continue his purple patch in front of goal at international level, and he looks like a good player to back in the anytime goalscorer market on home soil against a weak opponent.
