Both teams show a clear BTTS signal in the last 5 matches: 60% for home and 60% for away, significantly above the league BTTS level of 43%. In the last five fixtures LFK Mladost Lučani scored 8 goals (1.6 avg) and conceded 5 (1.0), while Novi Pazar scored 6 (1.2) and conceded 8 (1.6), indicating both sides both score and concede. xG in the last 5 matches was 1.2 for LFK and 1.27 for Novi Pazar, with xG conceded 1.75 and 1.5 respectively, confirming both teams create chances and are defensively vulnerable. Seasonal data is incomplete (many values for the away side are 0), but the home team averages 13 shots and 5 on target per match, increasing the likelihood that both teams will exchange goals; therefore the best pick is BTTS - Yes (Goal/Goal).

xG analysis from the last 5 matches shows LFK Mladost with xG_for = 1.20 and Novi Pazar with xG_for = 1.27, with xG_against of 1.75 (home) and 1.50 (away) respectively. The averages (1.20+1.50)/2 = 1.35 expected goals for the home side and (1.27+1.75)/2 = 1.51 for the away side produce a total of 2.86 expected goals. A Poisson model with λ=2.86 yields estimates of P(Over 1.5) ≈ 78%, P(Over 2.5) ≈ 55% and P(Over 3.5) ≈ 32%. Supporting the Over is LFK’s activity: on average 13 shots and 5 on target per match and 8 goals in the last 5 matches (1.6 average), while Novi Pazar has 6 goals in the last 5 (1.2). Given these figures I recommend backing Over 1.5 as the strongest signal (78%), noting a moderate probability for Over 2.5 (55%).
