Season ticket holders at Stadion Slavko Maletin Vava haven’t seen too many victories this season, with Bačka Palanka languishing in the 20th position so far. The guesting Metalac GM will be hopeful to defend their higher league position in this one.
- Bačka Palanka is in the worst form (0-1-5)
- Metalac GM have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
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 Rad Beograd. 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.
