IMT Novi Beograd form and stats

7-2-0 is the performance here at Stadion FK Bežanija so far in the Prva Liga, giving IMT Novi Beograd a total of 23 from their 9 games here. Outstanding results!

Beograd enjoyed a nice away win last time out, playing at Jedinstvo Ub's place. The match ended 1-0 with Vidić scoring. Manager Vasiljević felt very clever after Vidić scored the winning goal against Jedinstvo Ub, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 68th minute.

Before that, a loss in the away fixture against Radnicki Nis in the Serbian Cup. The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how IMT Novi Beograd have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 6 games) they have won 4 times, drawn 2 and lost 0.

A decent goal production from Beograd in their home games so far, with 17 goals from 9 league matches. IMT Novi Beograd have only conceded 6 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.

Grafičar form and stats

As the visiting team matches, Grafičar, who have the most scored goals (44) in Prva Liga, have produced an overall stat of 5-2-2 so far.

Mituljikić, Nikolašević, Knežević and Ilić scored in Grafičar's previous match, the home game against Rad Beograd that ended 6-1. As mentioned above, Grafičar was the only team on the pitch versus Rad Beograd in their previous game, winning 6-1. This could be a tougher task. Mituljikić certainly enjoyed Grafičar's last game versus Rad Beograd, appearing multiple times in the match report with three goals and the 6-1 victory.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Loznica wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

Grafičar are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 3 wins, 2 draws and 6 defeats. From a total of 11 matches.

Observe that 8 of this team's 10 latest league games have ended with at least three goals.

10 goals have been conceded by Grafičar in these games.
