Budućnost will play in this game coming off the back of a 2-2 UCL Qualifiers drawn game against Noah.
The only name on the scoresheet from Budućnost was Igor Ivanović (68'). Imran Oulad Omar (6') and Alen Grgić (29') scored for Noah.
It has been a rare occasion in recent times where Budućnost have kept a clean sheet. The reality is that Budućnost have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 matches, leaking 8 goals during that time.
Illustrating their fondness for action-packed matches, goals have been scored 21 times in the prior 6 games in which Noah have taken to the field, giving an average of 3.5 goals per fixture. Opposition teams have got 16 of these goals. That trend might not be carried forward here, however.
The Budućnost manager Mladen Milinković has zero fitness concerns to speak of coming into this clash owing to a completely healthy squad to choose from.
Owing to a completely healthy squad available to select from, the Noah manager doesn’t have any fitness worries at all ahead of this clash.
When taking everything into account, Budućnost will really need to work well to breach the defence of this Noah outfit who we think will likely get a goal themselves and run out victorious.
We’re therefore anticipating a highly competitive game with a 0-1 winning margin for Noah when the full-time whistle blows.
Looking forward to watching this one unfold.
