Novi Sad form and stats

The visitors are W5-D3-L7 on the road this term. That's in the Prva Liga. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Novi Sad have lost on their last two travels.

There might be some fixture complaints from Novi as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, 2-4 against Radnički Sr. Mitrovica. As you can tell from the result, the match against Radnički Sr. Mitrovica was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 6 goals, will the fun continue today?

Ahead of that game was the 2-2 draw at home against Radnički Novi Beograd.

Highlight this: 12 of the latest 16 league fixtures involving this side have seen only one (or no) team scoring (Both Teams to Score NO in sports betting words).

Novi Sad are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 17 away goals from 15 games (in the league). It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. 18 goals have been conceded by Novi Sad in these games.
