Red Star - Form analysis: Another title is practically secured
The "Red Star" remains unmatched. They haven't relinquished the "gold" since 2018. Currently, they have 26 wins and 81 points from 32 matches, 11 more than the closest pursuer, which is, of course, Partizan. Only Vojvodina managed to stop the favorite at home, playing out a 0-0 draw last Sunday. However, it can't be said that Milojevic's team didn't dominate the hosts - on the contrary, they outperformed them in key metrics, and it needs to be shown that it was an exception, not a signal of readiness to finish the season.
TSC Backa Topola - Form analysis: They managed to maintain their positions from last season
"TSC" played in the First League a few years ago, only rising from it in 2019. Last season, they achieved a sensational runner-up finish. However, Partizan had a setback then, and now they have reclaimed their position. Despite beating them head-to-head last round, they still remain four points behind. It's their second consecutive victory, but before that, there was a significant downturn with draws against Cukaricki and a loss to Vojvodina.
