Recap

After win in first round against Partizan side, Radnik has lost in their last game against Mladost. In that game they were equal to Mladost team, but in the end home team had more luck and experience and they managed to win in one very tight game. Coach Dodic was not unhappy after that match and he gave support to his team. He is hoping to have more luck in this game because points from this match against weaker Zemun side could be crucial at the end of the season. Home team will probably play in 4-2-3-1 formation. Their striker Zlatkovic was great in last game but he missed some easy shots but he is still young and with the time he will progress and learn to score from those shots. He is in good form recently and with winger Keyeremeh , they will biggest threat to Zemun’s defense. Coach Dodic will have all players at his disposal accept winger Stankovic who will be absent for a while (broken leg).

On the opposite side, team Zemun managed to avoid defeat in first two rounds against stronger teams such as Vojvodina and Cukaricki. In those matches, their best player, Veljko Simic managed to score a goal in each match, but in meanwhile he moved to Crvena Zvezda. Now when he is not in the team, Zemun will have big problems to replace him at the pitch. Coach Milanovic doesn’t have many good players at his disposal, so we must wait to see what Zemun can do without Simic. I think that they will continue to play in same formation, 4-2-3-1. Since Simic is not in the club any more, main threat from Zemun will come from wing, where Vukadinovic is operating and he can pose a danger to their opponents. Zemun’s first option on left back, Nemanja Vucic, who was one of their best players last season, is still unfit and he is dubtful for this match.

The match will be played at Radnik’s stadium at Surdulica, capacity 3500 places. The pitch is in solid condition and the stands will be probably full due to the great support by local fans. These teams played 3 times last season, Zemun has won in their first match 3:2, while in next two matches Radnik has won both times (1:0 and 2:1). I think that Radnik is favorite in this match and that they will win and I don’t think that Zemun will score a goal in this match.
