This could be an interesting match as Napredak have their presumed home advantage while Partizan are ahead in the Super Liga table with their 16 point advantage.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
Napredak form and stats
The story so far for Napredak at their home stadium (Stadion Mladost) is 4 wins, 7 draws and 2 defeats. The home team are struggling everywhere these days as they haven't won a game, regardless of being the home or the away team, in eleven attempts.In their previous game, the manager M. Kosanović led his Napredak to a defeat in the Super Liga match away at Radnik Surdulica. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stadion Mladost. Preceding that match was the home Serbian Cup game against Partizan that was lost 0-4.
A quite possible distraction for the home team is the Napredak - Mladost Lučani game in the Super Liga only three days away. That match is played on a neutral venue.
Napredak are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home, having created 15 goals in 13 matches. From these home matches, Napredak have conceded only 10 goals.
Partizan form and stats
Playing away, Partizan have won 6 games, drawn 5 and suffered 2 defeats so far this season.This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Super Liga home defeat versus Spartak Subotica with 1-3 on the scoreboard. Prior to that result Partizan won their away game at Napredak in the Serbian Cup. The scoreline was 4-0.
A quick return to home after this game, as Partizan are hosting Čukarički in the Super Liga only three.
Partizan are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 17 away goals from 13 games. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (8 so far).
Head 2 Head
The two sides played each other earlier this season: Partizan - Napredak 1-1. Napredak-Partizan H2H statistics last ten meetings regardless of arena: Napredak 2 wins, Partizan 5 wins, 3 draws.Napredak missing players
