Perhaps a welcome break from league football as IMT Novi Beograd & Radnički Niš face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Serbian Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Super Liga. That game was also an away game, at Inija. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
