The Czech Republic visit Montenegro this evening in the second leg of their Euro 2012 play-off, and this match could develop into a high-scoring affair.

Montenegro coach Branko Brnovic is confident his side can overturn Czech Republic's 2-0 lead from the first leg, with the market making the hosts 2.64 favourites on the night. The Czechs, who dominated the first leg and probably deserved their late second goal, are 2.98 to claim a second consecutive win, and as short as 1.11 to qualify (with Montenegro 8.0 to go through).

The Czechs were the better side in the first leg but Montenegro showed hints of attacking quality on the break and will be confident they can get on the scoresheet this time. I can see the determined hosts avoiding defeat, so the draw at 3.45 would be my selection in what ought to be a close match.

Over / Under 2.5 Goals

We had to wait until injury-time for Czech Republic to score their second goal on Friday night but the over 2.5 goals barrier might easily have been broken earlier in the game. There was suspect defending on both sides, with some good goalscoring chances.

The pre-match quotes suggest Montenegro will go all-out to overturn the 2-0 deficit from kick-off. As a result I expect an open encounter from the start, with the home side determined to get the early goal that would get them back into the tie, and the visitors therefore likely to have chances on the break.

Given how the game is likely to unfold, over 2.5 goals looks a little big at 2.28, so I'd take that over unders at 1.76.

Both teams to Score?

For those seeking to cover the 1-1 draw, 'Yes' in the Both Teams to Score? market at around 1.91 is a viable alternative. The Czechs will be keen to nick the away goal that will make qualification almost certain, and the hosts have enough firepower to find the net.
