Expert Prediction: Goal-Rich Encounter Anticipated

Since the beginning of the 2025/26 Serbian SuperLiga season, Cukaricki has been involved in many matches with over 2.5 goals. Will they draw Mladost Lucani, a team typically conservative with goals, into this pattern?

Mladost Lucani’s Scoring Form

Firstly, Mladost Lucani itself doesn’t score much, averaging less than a goal per game (eight goals in nine matches). Last Sunday, it was a genuine celebration for Mladost when they scored two goals against Javor (2:1). But Javor is just a newcomer to the top flight, isn’t it? This newcomer actually managed to snatch points with two goals against Vojvodina and Backa Topola. So, is it a case of ‘you are what you associate with’?

Cukaricki’s High-Scoring Tendencies

If so, Cukaricki offers plenty of goal-scoring potential. Their last three matches ended with over 3.5 goals. The only truly joyful outcome for them was their recent 4:2 victory over Backa Topola. Vojvodina and OFK Belgrade didn’t allow them to dominate, winning 3:1 each. Oh, see, it works! The same two opponent names. Overall, six out of eight matches for the “Mountaineers” (Cukaricki) have seen over 2.5 goals.

Historical Precedent and Match Outcome

This suggests that Mladost in Lucani will likely deliver a high-scoring match against Cukaricki. Especially considering that just over a year ago, the home team won 3:1 in a similar fixture.
