Montenegro coach Zlatko Kranjcar has warned Fabio Capello’s England that the Group G table toppers are full of confidence and their wins over Wales and Bulgaria were “no fluke”.
Tuesday’s visitors to Wembley current sit above the Three Lions in the Euro 2012 standings with a perfect record having gleaned nine points from their opening three games
They will hope to continue that run against England and whilst Kranjcar admitted the home side would be favourites, he is confident his team can get a result at Wembley.
“England are still the favourites to win the group but we are not going to London as shopping tourists, we will be looking to prove our worth and get something out of this game," the coach told Sky Sports.
"This team has the capacity to capitalise on any blunders England might make so we won't just roll over.
"We have shown against the Swiss that we are capable of playing good football against tough opponents, and that 1-0 wins over Wales and Bulgaria were no fluke.
“The players have accepted my vision and performed with the utmost commitment and professionalism, hence we now believe we are good enough to at least finish runners-up in the group and clinch a play-off berth.”
The Montenegrins' danger-man is undoubtedly Roma striker Mirko Vucinic who bagged the winner in games against Wales and Switzerland but Kranjcar believes his entire team and the fans deserve credit.
"[Mirko] Vucinic was outstanding against Switzerland and so were the back four, marshalled superbly by our goalkeeper Mladen Bozovic,” he added,
"The fans were fantastic and played a key role in the victory, it felt as if there were four times as many of them in the terraces."
