After goalless draws with OFK, Vojvodina and Spartak Subotica, there were defeats from Crvena Zvezda (1:2) and Tekstilac (0:1). The only victory during this period was achieved against the main outsider of the championship, Jedinstvo (2:1). The hosts also flew out of the country cup, losing to the capital Novi (1:2).

1.62Tip and bets
The opponents are clearly not in their best form at the moment. Both teams have hardly won recently, so it is difficult to expect productive football in this match. The opponents will most likely try to put their game in order at their goal. For example, the visitors have conceded 11 goals in the last two home rounds of the Super League. We do not think that the opponents will score many goals in this confrontation.
Our prediction is total under 2.5 goals for 1.78
Bet on the outcome
Due to the unsuccessful results of the last matches, the hosts fell out of the leading three, but Mladost still has ambitions. The home match with Novi Pazar can help the club from Lucani overcome the crisis. The guests have not impressed in the last matches either, so we consider the hosts to be the clear favorites of the match.
Our forecast is Mladost victory in 2.20
Bet on corners
The hosts will play first number and will probably seize the initiative from the first minutes. We think that the favorite will surpass the opponent in the number of corners taken.
Our prediction is a victory for Mladost on corners for 2.00
