Getting nearer the top clubs is at stake when these two mid-table clubs meet. Both are aiming to better their league status, Mačva Šabac in 9th and Grafičar in 10th place.
- Grafičar have the most scored goals in the first half (35) in Prva Liga
Mačva is in the 9th league table position and will remain there regardless of what happens for the rest of the season. Grafičar is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
