Andrey Ilyinov’s Analysis

Novi Pazar’s Current Form

Novi Pazar has found its rhythm, securing three wins in their last five outings. Notably, against OFK Belgrade, Stefan Gilli’s squad had less possession but generated significantly more scoring opportunities (21-9 shots and 2.18 vs. 0.95 xG). Nigerian forward Bob Murphy Omoregbe has been in fine form, scoring in two consecutive matches. Despite their attacking prowess, the defense frequently falters, with Novi Pazar conceding 12 goals – the highest among the top-6 clubs.

Vojvodina’s Dominant Run

Vojvodina is currently on a championship-worthy trajectory, boasting five wins and two draws in seven league matches. Bandovic’s team has netted 12 goals while only conceding 5. In their recent 3-1 victory over Čukarički, the Novi Sad club controlled the game (56% possession) and confidently sealed the win. Bamidélé Yusuf continues to be a key offensive threat, having scored three goals in the league. Although Vojvodina’s defense generally performs reliably, they have made at least one costly error in four of their seven matches.

Match Outcome Prediction

Novi Pazar is in good spirits, but their defensive vulnerabilities are likely to be exploited. Vojvodina, on the other hand, appears more structured, especially in defense, though they are not immune to making mistakes at the back. I anticipate a high-scoring match where both teams will find the back of the net.
