Borac Banja Luka vs Krupa Prediction & Betting tips
Borac Banja Luka is looking forward to Monday, when the home game against FK Krupa will not only take place on the sixth matchday of the Bosnian-Herzegovinian Premier League, but also the draw for the second qualifying round of the Europa League. For the game, in which there could theoretically be well-known opponents such as Tottenham, AC Milan or VfL Wolfsburg, the club qualified with a 1-0 victory over the Montenegrin representative FK Sutjeska Niksic.
In the run-up to the match between Borac Banja Luka and Krupa, the odds of the bookmakers turn towards the home side, as the odds comparison of the betting base reveals.
After all, a club that is still in the race to represent Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Europa League for the first time receives a promoted team who only scored four points from their first five league games.
At Borac Banja Luka against Krupa, the prognosis must also take into account that the home side won all four competitive games at their Banja Luka stadium at home, while Krupa is still completely pointless and goalless away in the 2020/21 season.
Accordingly, at Borac Banja Luka against Krupa, we find the greatest value in the tip on the home side’s zero win.
Borac Banja Luka:
Two years ago, Borac Banja Luka, the only second division team in the history of Yugoslavia to ever win the national cup (1988), played only second class in Bosnia and Herzegovina.
In the 2019/20 season, the fighters (Borac means fighters in German) ended up in fourth place straight away and thus bought the ticket for the qualifying rounds for the Europa League. On Thursday evening they celebrated a 1-0 home win over FK Sutjeska Niksic and are thus in the lottery pot of the second qualifying round.
That alone is a great number for the club from the north, which was Bosnian-Herzegovinian champion in 2011 and won the national club cup in 2010. As an unset team, there could be a very big name after all. Because this game also has a second leg due to the shortened season, the supposed underdog even has a chance.
Especially if there should be another home game by drawing lots. After all, Borac Banja Luka was not only able to win all three league games in the Premier League without conceding a goal, but also celebrated a clean sheet victory in the Europa League. That adds up to four wins out of four games at the Banja Luka Stadium with a goal difference of 10-0.
Against this background, it is hardly surprising that at Borac Banja Luka against Krupa the odds of the bookmakers clearly turn in the direction of the strong home fighters.
Accordingly, it makes a lot of sense from a quota point of view to bet on another to-zero victory for the red-blue-whites. After all, Banja Luka welcomes a newcomer today who has not yet arrived too well in the Premier League.
Krupa:
In 2016, the club from Krupa na Vrbasu rose to the Premier League for the first time. At the end of the 2018/19 season, however, the difficult transition to the second division had to be started again with 16 defeats from the 23 season games. A new coach was needed and the squad was restructured accordingly.
With the now 60-year-old Zoran Maric, the owners seemingly placed their trust in exactly the right man. As the champions of the second-highest Bosnian-Herzegovinian league, the club, founded in 1983, immediately celebrated its return to first class.
The big goal is of course to get stuck in the country’s highest league again, but this may have to be readjusted on the transfer market. Goalgetter Jovo Lukic left the club in the direction of today’s opponent Banja Luka.
Successor Stefan Nikolic was able to mark his first goal of the season for his new employer in a 1-1 draw at home against Radnik Bjeljina last Sunday. Overall, however, it was only the second competitive goal of the promoted team in the fifth league game.
It is all the more remarkable that two goals, both of which were scored at home, were enough for four points. Overall, the newcomer is currently on a direct relegation place with this low yield, which can be attributed to the six goals that the restructured defense has already caught.
At Borac Banja Luka against Krupa, the tip is also impaired by the fact that Zoran Maric’s team has not yet scored a goal away and has not scored a goal in all three defeats of the season. A correspondingly big task now faces the climber in the north of the country.
