Partizan is in excellent shape, having won 3 of 3 league matches with a goal difference of 10:3. The team demonstrates a powerful attack, which is confirmed by the defeat of Napredak (7:2), the team also played in the European Cup qualification, but could not get past the Scottish Hibernian, so now they will focus entirely on the domestic championship. The home stadium will add confidence to them in the upcoming derby.
Novi Beograd is located at the bottom of the table, having only 1 win in 4 rounds. The team shows an unstable game, alternating victories with defeats, and their defense looks vulnerable (9 goals conceded). In the last face-to-face meetings with Partizan, they were unable to win.
Partizan must use its advantage in class and current form to consolidate at the top of the table. Novi Beograd is unlikely to be able to put up serious resistance, given the difference in the teams' levels.
