Tonight's game at Novi Beograd is a meeting of the 3rd-placed team and the 4th-placed team, separated by just one point. IMT Novi Beograd have 21 points from 12 matches, while Železničar Pančevo have 20 points from 11 matches, so this is a game both sides need points from to stay in the top group. IMT Novi Beograd come home after winning two in a row, and at their own ground they are very hard to score against. In five home matches they concede an average of just 0.2 goals per game, keeping a clean sheet in four of the five. Železničar Pančevo, meanwhile, arrive in hotter form on a winning run, but away from home their defence clearly comes apart more easily, conceding an average of 1.3 goals per game and conceding more in the second half than the first. The pattern of the game should therefore see Železničar Pančevo with more of the ball and trying to open up the attack, while IMT Novi Beograd wait for the counter and rely on their solidity at home. What to watch after kick-off is whether the hosts can defend as tightly as in their recent home matches, because if that home defence holds, the game will turn into a trade of punches with chances at both ends.
