Recap

Home team enters this match after one poor game in last round against Macva‘s side. Their coach Kosanovic was very harsh after that match and he made his displeasure public. Their captain Vulic, has accepted responsibility after last match and he made a promise to their coach that they will not repreat same thing in their next game. Coach Kosanovic is usually using 4-2-3-1 formation and we can expect that they will go out in that formation against Backa. Napredak don’t have any suspended or unavailable players for this match. Napredak is on the right track to sign contracts with two players who have already played for them, left back Projic and striker Zec who are currently training with the team. They will be good reinforcement for Napredak side and they will give a depth to the squad. Wingers Alivodic and N’diaye are best players of Napredak and they will pose a great threat to Backa’s defense.
Team Backa has made big surprise in last round, the have managed to use tiredness of Spartak Subotica side and they have won 2:1 in a game where both teams managed to miss penalty kick. Coach Dejan Celar is currently using 3-5-2 formation, and we can expect that they will play in same formation which gave them good result in last game. Main threats in Backa’s side is coming from their strikers Makaric and Micic, Makaric is tall and Micic is quite quick player and they together make a good combination. Even that Backa has started good new season, they will be fighting against relegation this season and if they managed to use bad form from Napredak last game, they can expect to wine some points from this match.
This match will be played at Mladost stadium at Krusevac, capacity 10000 places. The pitch is in solid condition and Napredak have solid fans base as they are most popular club in the town of Krusevac. My expectations are that they will be around 4000-5000 home fans in this match. Last season, these teams played twice, at Napredak’s stadium it was draw (1:1) while at Backa’s stadium Napredak has won 4:1. I think that this match will end as a draw with no more than 2 goals, and maybe we can see goals from both sides.
