Prediction: wrong Veličković wrong Decision
I'm surprised so many people are picking Matthews. Bojan is a grinder, and a large welterweight that made his debut at 185, whereas Matthews is a 155er moving up to 170 after losing a decision to Andrew Holbrook.
Let's compare their last performances.
Matthews' last fight: Got grinded out by Andrew Holbrook, a guy best known for getting knocked out in the first round in 3 of his last 4 fights (the one win being over Matthews), with 2 of those knockouts happening in less than 45 seconds.
Bojan's last fight: Lost a UD to Darren Till, a 16-0 fighter with 4 wins in the UFC, who knocked Donald Cerrone out in the first round immediately after beating Bojan. Till is also a massive welterweight, who has personally stated that he's the size of a light heavyweight.
Everything about this fight screams Bojan to me. Bojan has a style that's historically proven to be a bad matchup for Matthews, he has a massive weight advantage, he's fought better competition, and he trains out of a better camp, which is at elevation.
