The "Lions" will be visiting Hafnarfjörður tomorrow at 7 p.m., while the return match is scheduled for Sunday in Podgorica.
Our national team took a big step towards qualifying for the Euro in October, with victories against Portugal in Podgorica and the Faroe Islands in Tórshavn.
Unlike Montenegro, Iceland opened the qualifiers with two defeats, so Suzana Lazović's team enters the upcoming matches as favorites and with a clear goal - to confirm their quality and get even closer to the finals of the continental championship.
"The goal, of course, is to win. That's why we came, full of energy and we want to show what we know, to help the new girls who have joined get their chance and show what they know," said left winger Dijana Mugoša.
The "Lionesses" defeated the same rival at the World Championship in December last year with a convincing 36:27.
"The difference is that we know each other a little better now. We achieved a sure victory at the World Championship, I hope it will be the same tomorrow," Mugoša pointed out.
Mina Novović, who could play her first minutes in the senior national team jersey, earned a debut call-up after great performances for Spanish club Sporting La Rioja.
"The greatest honor and pride is to represent the country. I am very happy to have received the invitation and I hope that I will be able to live up to the coach's expectations, because this is something I have been waiting for a long time," said Mina, who is also expecting two victories:
"I expect us to give our maximum, to honor the agreement from the locker room and to win. I hope to make my debut, but above all, we will be a team and play as a team," concluded Novović.
The EHF Euro is scheduled from December 3rd to 20th in the Czech Republic, Romania, Slovakia, Turkey and Poland.
