Železničar Pančevo are going into this upcoming game on a poor run of form, with no victories in their last six matches, which includes five losses and one draw. Their last win dates back to round 1 of the league fixtures in July, when they secured a 1-0 victory against Napredak, courtesy of a 28th-minute goal by Evgen Pavlov. However, since that initial win, they have struggled to find the back of the net and even endured a four-match goalless streak.

In their most recent match, they suffered a heavy 6-3 defeat at the hands of TSC, with TSC already holding a commanding 3-0 lead by halftime. Currently, Železničar Pančevo occupy the 15th position in the league table, having amassed just 4 points from 7 games. They have scored 6 goals but, unfortunately, have conceded the highest number of goals in the league, totaling 15.

Partizan have maintained an impressive unbeaten record in the league this season, securing victories in 5 matches and ending one game in a draw. Despite their European aspirations being dashed when they lost to Nordsjaelland in the Europa Conference League qualification finals, Partizan are determined to make a strong push for the domestic league title.

Currently occupying the 2nd position in the league standings, Partizan have accumulated 16 points from 6 matches. They have been prolific in front of the goal, netting 16 times, but have also conceded 9 goals. Partizan are trailing the league leaders, TSC, by 3 points, although it's worth noting that TSC have played one more game than Partizan at this stage of the season.

I feel that Partizan, who have not yet been defeated in the league, will not only keep a clean sheet but also score a lot of goals in this match since they will have an easy run at it.
