Perhaps a welcome break from league football as Novi Pazar & Čukarički face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Serbian Cup. All the pre-match information is available here!
This should be an interesting game with lots of spark and energy as both teams are well rested since they last saw competitive action. Game on!

Last season, Pazar's Serbian Cup journey ended in the 1st round.3-1-1 (win-draw-lost) are the Super Liga numbers at home for Novi Pazar so far this season. Pazar has recorded two wins in a row here at Gradski Stadion, Novi Pazar, increasing their hopes of victory in this match.

As you see from the result above, Novi Pazar suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

The Novi Pazar fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 9 goals in 5 league matches. 6 goals have been conceded.
Čukarički form and stats
Čukarički was sent out of Serbian Cup in the semi-finals last season.The visitors are W1-D3-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Super Liga.
Čukarički failed to get anything from their last game, a Super Liga home match vs Proleter Novi Sad that ended with defeat 1-2. It was a Super Liga defeat before that one as the away game against Spartak Subotica wasn't a success with a 2-4 loss.
There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Čukarički manager D. Đorđević as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Backa Topola.
