Molde vs Cukaricki Prediction & Betting tips

Sounds like a cock crowing, but in reality it’s the name of one of the more successful Serbian clubs of recent years. The FK Cukaricki Belgrade or just Cukaricki has been twice in third place since the rise in the Super League for the 2013/2014 season in six seasons including two thirds behind the prestigious city rivals Rotem Star Belgrade and Partizan Belgrade, twice won the Serbian Cup. Cukaricki has not made it to the group stage of a European competition so far. The three attempts in the last five years have ended in the second round of qualifying for the Europa League.

In this round Cukaricki stands again this year and trumps there on the Norwegian representative Molde FK, who initially enjoys home rights. Molde is currently in excellent shape and especially in the middle of the season, which is completed in Norway always within a calendar year. The bookmakers see the home side far ahead and in the game between Molde and Cukaricki Belgrade my prediction goes for the tip on the Norwegians, but this is one of the duels in the second round of qualifying for the Europa League, in which there after one-leg play could give little surprise.

Molde:

The season in the Norwegian Eliteserien has not only begun, it’s even over half played. At the top of the table is the Molde FK with ten wins from 16 games in three draws and three more defeats. The two teams behind, namely Bodö / Glimt and Odds BK, each have four points less. However, this is just a snapshot as Bodo / Glimt played two games and odds a game less than Molde. Nevertheless, Molde is currently well on the way to the first championship title since 2014 after two runners-up in a row.

Especially in the home Aker Stadium Molde is a force and picked there in the current season 22 of 24 possible points. Molde also scored 21 of the total 37 goals and conceded only four goals in eight home games on the other side. For comparison: In the eight away games Molde conceded with twelve goals three times as many. For a total of six competitive games Molde is undefeated. The last bankruptcy was both startling and embarrassing. In the semifinals of the Norwegian Cup of the league leaders lost in mid-June at second division Aalesunds FK with 0: 4. In the first round of qualifying for the Europa League, however, Molde had no trouble. Against the KR Reykjavik from Iceland, the Norwegians already made everything clear in the first leg at home and won 7: 1. In the second leg away was a tired 0: 0 in a better training game. Man of the first leg was Leke James, who scored three goals.

In the last league game last weekend, the Nigerian was again without scoring, after he had scored eight goals in his four startups (five in the league). Nevertheless, he is not top scorer of the club. With Ohi Omoijuanfo (ten goals) and Magnus Wolff Eikrem (eight goals), two Molde FK players are among the top three scorers in the Eliteserien. Both are based in the midfield and harmonize wonderfully with each other, as could be seen in the 2-1 win last weekend, when Omoijuanfo prepared the goal of his partner Eikrem to 1: 0. On Thursday, the hopes rest on them and in the game of Molde against Cukaricki Belgrade is a tip to good odds on some home goals an option.

Cukaricki Belgrade:

FC FK Cukaricki Belgrade have played only three competitive matches this season, but the club can be satisfied with the results from these three games. In the first round of qualifying for the Europa League as well as on the first match day of the new season in the Serbian Super League, there were not only victories, Cukaricki Belgrade did not concede a single goal in these three successes. Against Banants Yerevan from Armenia Cukaricki Belgrade had already scored in the first round of qualifying for the Europa League and won the first leg at home with 3: 0 and the return leg away even with 5: 0.

Against Napredak rocked Cukaricki Belgrade at the weekend in the Super League a 1-0 lead in the runner-up. Goal scorer was Luka Stojanovic, who was the second-best scorer of Cukaricki last season. It will be particularly important for him this season, after the center forward and with 18 goals top scorer Ognjen Mudrinski left the club in the direction of Poland to Jagiellonia Bialystok. Cukaricki Belgrade has strengthened with two 21-year-olds from the two city rivals Red Star Belgrade and Partizan Belgrade as well as with Nikola Cirkovic from Vozdovac. Otherwise, the club promoted equal to four U20 players in the squad of the first team. Cukaricki Belgrade has recorded seven departures so far, but only Mudrinski, who was also the top scorer in the entire league in the preseason, is really painful.

Cukaricki Belgrade was known for his good defense in the last season. The team received on average less than one goal per league match. Cukaricki Belgrade scored 63 goals in 37 games in the Superliga. With the win over the weekend, Cukaricki Belgrade has been unbeaten in all competitions for nine matches – six wins. The only two defeats in the last twelve competitive matches were away at Partizan Belgrade. In general, Cukaricki Belgrade conceded the last three bankruptcies in a competitive match in a foreign land. In the final spurt of the Super League in the preseason Cukaricki Belgrade could only decide one of the last ten away games for themselves. In Molde’s play against Cukaricki Belgrade, this is a tipping point for the visitors whose goal will be to draw with at least one away goal.
