15:00 Jagodina – Red Star Belgrade

This campaign doesn’t develop so well for the home team, as FK Jagodina is on fifth position in the Serbian Super Liga, but seven points behind the third team in the standings and taking into account the habits in this league will be quite difficult for this team to find a place in Top 3 at the end of the season.

In fact, even Simo Krunic declared that the Cup is priority FK Jagodina in this moment and although the motivation of the players should be on its highest level for this match against one of the two giants in the Serbian football, there are some side factors, that make me to believe, that the hosts will have problems in this match.

First and most important is the mentality of the players.FK Jagodina is good team for the standards of this league, but the hosts are somehow toothless in their games against FK Partizan and Red Star Belgrade, having won only twice in their previous twenty games against these two teams, with one draw and seventeen defeats in this period (2-1-17).

The Red-Whites, on the other hand, started the second part of the season with a surprising draw in the visit of FK Radnicki Nis (0-0), but this same team won one point against FK Partizan yesterday (0-0), so the visitors can get back in the fight for the title with three points today.

FK Jagodina is a tough opponent for any team in this league, but Red Star Belgrade is a team with big potential and what is also important – with bigger experience in such important games.

An interesting fact is, that the Red-Whites are without a single mistake in the last seven games between these two teams at this stadium (7-0-0 22-5).
