The stage is lit for Iskra - Zeta! Forget the ups and downs, this match could be awesome!

Insights:
  • Zeta have the fewest scored goals in the first half (12) in First League

Iskra is in the 4th league table position and will remain there regardless of what happens for the rest of the season. Zeta are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.

It's no vacation for neither Iskra nor Zeta as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Iskra are steadily winning First League games and points here at Stadion Braća Velašević. 11 wins, 1 draw and 5 defeats is the summary from 17 games.

Iskra faced defeat in their previous match, away at Mladost Ljeskopolje (2-3). Did Iskra get overconfident in their match against Mladost Ljeskopolje? We'll let you decide, but they did lose a 2-0 lead to end up with a 2-3 defeat. Heartbreak for Iskra in their last match as Mladost Ljeskopolje's Boljevic scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Mornar in a game that was won 1-0.

Zeta form and stats

Zeta have only collected 10 points from their away games in the First League, after 2-4-11 (17 played).

Did you know that the longest clean sheet streak is 1816 minutes? This record is held by Mazaropi when he played in Vasco da Gama. Zeta goalkeeper Aleksandar Karadzic is eager to challenge this, with his 234 minutes of keeping balls out from the net.

The fans enjoyed Zeta's previous fixture versus Rudar (placed 8th), a 1-0 win played at home.

A 0-0 draw at Jezero's stadium before that.

The attacking power of Zeta when travelling is not overwhelming with 16 goals scored from 17 league matches away. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 1 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Zeta's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 33 goals from these trips.

Head 2 Head

H2H stats regardless of arena (last ten matches): Iskra five wins, four draws and Zeta one victory. As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six games had two or less.
