Mirko Vucinic: 'England are favourites'

Montenegro captain Mirko Vucinic has claimed that England are favourites to win Tuesday's World Cup qualifier in Podgorica.

The hosts will start the match at the Podgorica City Stadium two points clear of the Three Lions in Group H.

"England are still one of the best teams and they start as favourites to win this match," Sky Sports News quotes Vucinic as saying.

"But the situation is completely different when it comes to the group standings. That means they have to come and attack us."

Vucinic has scored two goals in three matches for his country during the current qualifying campaign.
