Napredak form and stats

Napredak have played 15 Super Liga games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 7-4-4 (wins-draws-losses). With three straight defeats the pressure is piling up on Napredak to get some points in this home game.

Marjanovic was the last player to score a league goal for Napredak and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Napredak haven't scored in 270 minutes.

Napredak are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-3 away versus Voždovac. The game against Voždovac was basically lost in the first half (0-3) and the second half was more of a formality.

Before that game, the home loss against Radnicki Nis with the scoreline 0-4.

The home team are doomed in this game if you believe the odds offered on Partizan to win. Let's see if Napredak are capable of creating a surprise here by looking at their earlier home games as massive outsiders: four games found revealing zero Napredak wins, zero draws and four defeats.

Napredak are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 18 goals in 15 games. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. From these home matches, Napredak have conceded only 14 goals. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
