Noah vs Mlada Boleslav prediction: EUROPE: Conference League – League phase betting tips on match 2024-10-02 16:45.
[p]Armenian club Noah will make their debut appearance in the group/league stage of a major UEFA competition after already writing history by becoming the first club in the history of the UEFA Conference League to successfully come through all four qualifying rounds. Their chances of eclipsing that with a win on matchday one against Mladá Boleslav look remote, as their indifferent five-game form (W1, D1, L3) coming into this match must be of some concern.[/p]
[p]One factor working in their favour is a nine-game winning sequence at home that stretches back to April. The Armenians also boast a perfect win record in Conference League home games (W5), including a 3-1 win over Greek European regulars AEK Athens in this year’s campaign, which could make them a formidable side to conquer on home soil. [/p]
[p]Boleslav will be appearing in the group/league stage of a continental tournament for the first time since the 2007/08 UEFA Cup and had to navigate their way through three qualifying rounds to make it to this stage. With matches against Real Betis and Molde still to come, the Czechs would be keen to start on a high. Their four-match domestic form (W1, D2, L1) coming into this game is not much better than that of their hosts, and they can point to conceding the opening goal within 30 minutes on each of the last three occasions for some of their troubles.[/p]
[p]Being on the road may not be too troublesome as Boleslav have won three of their last five competitive trips (D1, L1). Boosting their chances of starting this campaign on a high, the visitors also won each of their three away Conference League matches in this campaign, twice without conceding a goal.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Gonçalo Gregório contributed to two of Noah’s last three goals (G1, A1) and his last three competitive strikes have been match opening goals. Looking to follow him on the scoring sheet could be Tomáš Ladra, who comes into this fixture having netted in his last two matches for Boleslav. His last four competitive goals have all been equalisers, with all but one arriving in the first half.[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Six of Boleslav’s last eight matches in all competitions saw both teams score on the day.[/p]
