Serbian Super League: Napredak vs Novi Pazar 27/07/2025

Betting on Goals

For Napredak, this will be their first home match of the new Serbian SuperLiga season after a 1-0 loss to Cukaricki in the opening round. Novi Pazar, on the other hand, had their domestic opener postponed due to European commitments and will now be making their season debut.

Napredak didn’t show much in their first outing, especially in attack. They struggled to create chances and ended the match without a single shot on target.

Novi Pazar put up a brave fight against a stronger Jagellonia side in Europe but narrowly lost 1-0, which still leaves them with a chance to pull off a surprise in the return leg in Poland.

Why am I expecting a tight match here?

Napredak is not known for pushing too high up the pitch, particularly against teams of similar quality, like Novi Pazar — a side that has shown solid form over the past few seasons. Additionally, Pazar has managed to surprise Napredak a few times in Krusevac in recent years, so I expect a more cautious and controlled approach from the hosts.

It also feels like both teams might be satisfied with a draw here, which makes that outcome a real possibility.
