Radnički Niš form and stats

4-4-7 (win-draw-lost) are the Super Liga numbers at home for Radnički Niš so far this season. The Radnički Niš manager Šarac might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.

It's back home for Radnički Niš, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Napredak away with the result 2-1. Škrbić and Marjanović found the net in that victory. Sweet to taste a league win after three fixtures without one.

Preceding that game, a home loss in the Serbian Cup against Vojvodina. The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Radnički Niš, as the Super Liga home game vs Spartak Subotica is only four days away.
