In 27 games in this competition, he only got 3 comebacks in the 14 games in which he suffered the first goal.
The Radnicki Nis campaign is not bad, but it has nothing else to do in the league. In the last days, at most he can improve his numbers and logically he will try to do it. For playing at home, he is the favorite and does not think about losing points. Another thing in its favor is the fact that its rival has a pretty bad campaign. Therefore, if you play quality and error-free football, you can win without major problems.
Rad Beograd :
After 4 wins, 3 draws and 20 losses, the visiting team is currently in 15th position, with 15 points won. In their last match, they lost to the Crvena Zvezda at home by (0‑5), after in the previous match having lost away, in a match against Proleter Novi Sad, by (5‑0). This is a stronger team with the support of their fans, since in the last 30 games they have recorded 1 victory and 14 losses as a visitor, with 7 goals scored and 38 suffered; against 4 wins, 3 draws and 8 losses in his stadium, with 17 goals scored and 23 suffered.
For this competition, it registers a sequence of 13 defeats in the last away matches. In their home league matches the most frequent final result at half-time was 1‑0 (9 in 13 games). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 27 matches in this tournament, he suffered the first goal 16 times and never got the comeback.
Rad’s bad campaign is a reflection of a very irregular season. He ended up avoiding division relegation due to the pandemic, because if the championship continued normally he would be a great candidate for relegation. In recent games, he knows that winning wins is going to be very difficult. So we hope he shows a little more attitude on the pitch to at least keep up with the rivals he will face.
