Noah vs Buducnost predictions: A high-scoring affair
Key stats
- At least three goals were scored in each of Buducnost Podgorica’s last six matches.
- Five of Noah's last seven games went above the 2.5-goal line.
- Four of Noah's last five matches featured at least 11 corners.
Correct score prediction: Noah 2-1 Buducnost
Buducnost were not particularly impressive in their preseason campaign, as they managed only one win in four friendlies, including 3-0 defeats at the hands of Vardar Skopje and Slaven Belupo.
Nenad Lalatovic’s men will have to contend with a Noah side that won 14 consecutive home games across all competitions, stretching back to December last year.
Despite Buducnost’s best efforts, we are confident that Noah will extend their winning streak at home to 15 matches.

- HOME: 2/5 (1.40) – 71.4%
- DRAW: 19/5 (4.80) – 20.8%
- AWAY: 13/2 (7.50) – 13.3%
