Radnik Surdulica vs Backa Topola
Serbian Super Liga,
Friday, 14 May 2021
Kick-off 15:00 UK/ 16:00 CET
Venue: Stadion Surdulica.
TSC Backa Topola travel to Surdulica to take on Radnik in the battle for the fifth-place finish in Serbian Super Liga. A win would move the visitors level on points with Radnik ahead of the final day fixtures.
Radnik Surdulica have a big advantage on Backa Topola thanks to the fact they have won the first H2H game in this season 1-3 on the road.
Since the head to head record determines the winner of a tie-breaker if two teams win identical number of points, Backa Topola need a victory by at least three goal difference to take over Radnik in fifth place.
Nonetheless, Backa Topola have a much easier fixture upcoming on the final day, meaning they would likely finish at the fifth position even with a narrow victory here.
In terms of the form, neither of the two clubs can be proud of their consistency of late. Radnik won just two of the last seven fixtures in all competitions and they will come into this tie off the back of a tough 3-0 loss at the relegation-threatened Proleter Novi Sad.
Backa Topola, on the other hand, snapped a three-loss streak with a narrow 2-1 victory over Javor Ivanjica on Sunday.
The head coach Mladen Krstajic (former Schalke 04 centre-back) can, however, be worried about his team’s recent displays on travels as Backa Topola are winless in seven successive league outings on the road.
