Bačka Topola form and stats

Bačka Topola are on a winning streak away after three games, as mentioned below. A maximum 6 points in the bag from 2 travels in the Super Liga.

Topola played 4-4 against Radnicki Kragujevac in their previous match. Drawing 4-4 against Radnicki Kragujevac after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 3-1. Their manager M. Krstajić needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. A crazy, crazy match with lots of goals last time out for Topola, as mentioned above. 8 goals in that one, will this match be as much fun?

Prior to that result Topola won their away game at Radnicki Nis. The scoreline was 2-1.

6 goals so far away for Bačka Topola, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 3. All from 2 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

Head to head numbers (for the prior five meetings): Crvena Zvezda won four games, zero matches ended in a draw and Bačka Topola have one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: five / zero
