Partizan vs Backa Topola Prediction: The Serbian vice-champions will have a tough time

Partizan will face Backa Topola in the 3rd round of the national championship. Will anyone break their unbeaten streak in this clash?

Partizan has scored 4 points in their opening two rounds and now shares a third place in the table with five teams at once. The Black and Whites score a lot, but in their last match against Radnicki Nis, they had a difficult time. They lost with a 2 goal difference. In the end, Partizan secured a draw, scoring a goal from the penalty spot (3:3). Before that, the reigning vice-champions had also earned a 4:0 win over Javor. Since the start of the season, the coach has allowed the youth to prove themselves and 18-year-old forwards Samed Bazdar and Mihajlo Petkovic have already scored goals each.

Backa Topola finished sixth in the last championship, and in the current championship they have four points in two rounds. However, recently one of the club's leaders, Mihajlo Banjac, left for Krasnodar. In the last two Super League games, he scored 7 goals each. The team looked decent in their recent encounter with Javor and created a lot of chances, but ended in a draw. Backa Topola didn't play well in defense and missed some dangerous counterattacks, so the spectators could see goals from both sides.

Partizan left no chance for their current opponents in their last encounter, but now the vice-champions have problems. The club from Belgrade barely snatched a draw, while Backa Topola was closer to victory than their opponents in the last round. Perhaps the hosts are missing midfielder Nemanja Jovic, who may soon be promoted to a stronger championship. The visitors should take advantage of that.
