Crvena Zvezda form and stats

Crvena Zvezda, who have the fewest conceded goals (10) in Super Liga, have been outstanding at home so far in the Super Liga with 11 wins, 1 draw and only 0 losses. The team is able to perform also as the away side, as they are nurturing a very healthy winning streak of 13 straight victories regardless of arena. Crvena has won so many consecutive home games (five in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Stadion Rajko Mitić. We remember; it was Javor Ivanjica.

A nice win for Crvena last time playing, versus Cukaricki. That was also a home game and the match ended 2-0 with Aleksandar Katai and El Fardou Ben scoring for the victors. In the preceding match a 3-1 victory visiting Bačka Topola.

It would be a shock if the hosts fail to win this game. Let's see how Crvena have performed as huge favourites like they are today: 23 games found in the database showing 22 Crvena Zvezda wins, one draw and zero defeats.

The manager D. Stankovic will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Voždovac in only four days.

Crvena always seem capable of creating a buzz here at Stadion Rajko Mitić with 37 goals in 12 league games. Defensively Crvena have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (4 in 12 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.

Mačva Šabac form and stats

There's been little loot from Mačva Šabac's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 12 away games in the Super Liga. Mačva Šabac, who have the fewest scored goals (18) in Super Liga, only have 1 win to counter their 10 defeats and 1 draw. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Mačva's last three away games as they have all been lost.

The supporters enjoyed Mačva Šabac's previous game versus Proleter Novi Sad (placed 7th), a Super Liga 3-1 win played at home. Prior to that match, the Mačva Šabac manager S. Jeličić faced defeat when travelling to Spartak Subotica and losing 2-3.

Mačva are huge outsiders in this game. Running a check in our games database we found twelve matches where they were as big outsiders as an away team. Results were one win, two draws and nine defeats. Of the defeats, three games were lost by at least two goals margin.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Mačva Šabac manager S. Jeličić as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Bačka Topola.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Mačva's away games in the league this season with only 5 goals from 12 matches. For Mačva, more than two goals on average per game end up in their own net.
