Buducnost or Draw

Our first Struga vs Buducnost prediction backs the visitors from Montenegro to avoid a defeat on their short trip to North Macedonia. Struga are yet to win a European game in their very limited international experiences (D2 L2). At the same time, Buducnost’s away record in Europa League qualifiers is pretty decent lately. Lost just 1 of their last 4 such games (W2 D1).

Over 2.5 Goals

Our next free betting tip is that there will be at least 3 total goals scored in this match. This has been the case in both home European games so far for Struga, those are the only 2 international matches for the surprising North Macedonia champions from last season. Also, Buducnost saw 2 of their last 3 away games in Europe go over 2.5 goals.

Total Goals: Odd

Our final Struga vs Buducnost prediction is that the game will have an odd number of goals. This would mean the game to have a winner and not finish in a draw, as we hinted it might happen with our first free betting tip. In case Buducnost win or Struga causes an upset, we do believe there will be an odd number of goals. This has been the case in all of Buducnost’s last 4 matches. Also, 6 of Struga’s last 9 games in all competitions had an odd number of goals.

Struga vs Buducnost Lineups and Team News

Struga

Struga won their first-ever North Macedonian title last year by 10 points and they looked unstoppable domestically. Reality hit when the team made their first Champions League appearances though and Struga lost 1-2 on aggregate vs Zalgiris earlier this month. They drew 0-0 in Lithuania but then were beaten 1-2 at home.

The big stars up front Shabani and Ibraimi, between them they scored 30 league goals last season, stayed put and they will lead the charge again. Winger Ukpa might miss out though. He’s been dealing with an injury and hasn’t trained for a few days.

Buducnost

Buducnost also exited the Champions League early after winning 3-0 away in their first match only to lose 0-5 at home vs Breidablik. The Montenegrin side also started their new season on Saturday with an unexpected 1-2 away loss vs Mladost DG.

Star playmaker from last season Lucero left the club in the summer. Yet to sign a replacement. The main right winger Durickovic misses this game due to a suspension.
