Montenegro defender Stefan Savic believes that his side will not deserve to qualify for the World Cup if they do not beat Moldova on Friday evening.

Savic is expected to start in defence as Montenegro look to maintain their two-point advantage over England in Group H, and the former Manchester City centre-back has insisted that nothing less than three points will do against their opponents, who are ranked 103 places below them in the world rankings.

The 22-year-old told reporters: "If we can't beat Moldova, maybe we do not deserve to go to the World Cup. We need to go out there and take the points."

"This is a dangerous situation, we need to rise to it. The important thing is that we are aware it will not be easy.

"We have to stay concentrated. Maybe the hosts will not have a lot of attacks, but we must be ready at all times."

The Fiorentina player has scored twice in 19 appearances for his country.
