Timok form and stats

With 2 Prva Liga wins, 3 draws and 4 defeats from their home games, Timok are certainly not brimming with confidence. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a league-game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in eleven attempts.

I. Božović was the last player to score a league goal for Timok and it's becoming a more and more distant memory as Timok haven't scored in 184 minutes.

Timok faced defeat in their previous match, away at IMT Novi Beograd (0-4). As you see from the result above, Timok suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

Preceding that match was the home game against Radnički Sr. Mitrovica that was lost 0-1.

The Timok fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 12 in 9 matches. Timok's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 9 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Mladost Novi Sad form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Prva Liga travels is 3 wins, 4 draws and 1 defeat.

Home advantage was not enough for Mladost in their previous game, as they lost their Prva Liga-match, hosting Zlatibor Čajetina, 2-3.

A 0-0 draw at Backa Palanka's stadium before that.

Mladost Novi Sad have another fixture away from home in just four nights, a Prva Liga fixture against Žarkovo. A strenuous schedule for the guests!

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Mladost's away games in the league this season with only 4 goals from 8 matches. It's worth mentioning that 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three away matches. Mladost Novi Sad are tight as a drum on their travels, having allowed the opposition only 4 goals away.
