An important duel in the bottom section of the Super Liga, with both Zlatibor Čajetina and Bačka Palanka experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 17th and the visitors in 20th place.
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.
Zlatibor Čajetina form and stats
With 1 Super Liga win, 0 draws and 5 defeats from their home games, Zlatibor Čajetina, who have the fewest points (3) at home in Super Liga, are certainly not brimming with confidence. Three consecutive losses here at Gradski Stadion is hard to swallow for the home team. Both players, staff and the home crowd are desperate to get something from this match.
No payout for Zlatibor Čajetina in their previous match, an away game at Crvena Zvezda that ended in defeat 2-4. In the game before, an away victory in the Super Liga match versus Novi Pazar with a 2-1 scoreline.
Did Zlatibor get overconfident in their match against Crvena Zvezda? We'll let you decide, but they did lose a 2-0 lead to end up with a 2-4 defeat. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?
This is expected to be a close game, with Zlatibor Čajetina perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Zlatibor Čajetina as a small favourite), we find three games. Zlatibor has won three of these, drawn zero and lost zero.
The lack of attacking qualities in Zlatibor Čajetina means that they have only scored 3 goals in 6 league home games, less than half a goal per match. Zlatibor are struggling defensively, conceding on average more than two goals per home game (14 from 6 played).
Bačka Palanka form and stats
Bačka Palanka, who have the fewest clean sheets (1) in Super Liga, have only collected 1 point from their away games in the Super Liga, after 0-1-6 (7 played). Bitter travels for Bačka Palanka as they have lost five games in a row away from home. The last time they avoided an away-from-home loss was the Proleter Novi Sad match. With the Palanka losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.
Home advantage was not enough for Palanka in their previous game, as they lost their Super Liga-match, hosting Rad Beograd, 0-1. Preceding that game, the 1-3 loss visiting Vojvodina's place.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found five similar matches played by Bačka Palanka in our archives, and the results are: one win for Palanka, zero draws and four defeats.
The attacking power of Bačka Palanka when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 7 league matches away. Bačka Palanka's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 11 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
As for the last two games between these two teams, there's one Zlatibor victory, zero draws and one Bačka Palanka win. Over/under statistics; zero of these games ended with three goals or more, two matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
