With both sides well-rested after a near two-week break, this matchup should reveal a lot about their early-season trajectories.</p> <h3>Form and Context</h3> <p>Surdulica’s start has been rough (4 points from 7), but the split matters: they are far more competitive at home (1.33 PPG) than away. Their home ledger already includes a compelling 3-1 over Cukaricki, a tight 1-2 loss to Zeleznicar Pancevo, and a 0-0 with Backa Topola. Radnicki sit 12th (6 points from 6), buoyed by stability and a latest 1-0 win over Radnicki Nis, yet their away form is fragile (0.33 PPG, no wins in three).</p> <h3>What the Numbers Say</h3> <ul> <li>Venue split is decisive: Surdulica home 1.33 GF/1.00 GA vs Radnicki away 1.00 GF/2.00 GA.</li> <li>Goals outlook: Surdulica home Over 2.5 in 67%; Radnicki away Over 2.5 in 67% – bookmakers go 1.90 each way, which looks generous on Overs.</li> <li>BTTS at this venue profile is strong: 67% for Surdulica home and 67% for Radnicki away; the market is 1.73 on “Yes.”</li> <li>Second-half skew: Surdulica concede 70% of their goals after HT; Radnicki score 60% after HT (away 67%). Late action is a theme.</li> </ul> <h3>Tactical Themes</h3> <p>Expect Surdulica to be more front-footed at home, with their wide and midfield shot output notable. Douglas Owusu’s 20-shot tally without a goal suggests looming positive regression. Radnicki favour structured transitions; Kilian Bevis and Bogdan Mirčetić have the volume to punish space, particularly after the interval. The biggest tactical warning: Radnicki’s away lead-defending rate is 0%, and they spend only 3% of away minutes leading—if they do go ahead, the hosts should still create enough to respond.</p> <h3>Key Battles</h3> <ul> <li>Owusu (R. Surdulica) vs Radnicki’s full-backs: shot volume vs containment, especially wide-to-inside channels.</li> <li>Bevis and Chinedu (Radnicki) vs Surdulica’s central defense (Gašić, Stojanović): transitions and set-pieces after halftime.</li> <li>Game-state resilience: Surdulica collect 3.0 PPG when scoring first but 0.0 when conceding first; Radnicki away cannot hold a lead (0% lead-defending).</li> </ul> <h3>Markets to Watch</h3> <p>BTTS Yes at 1.73 carries value given the dual 67% venue hit rate and Radnicki’s away inability to keep clean sheets. Over 2.5 at 1.90 is supported by both teams’ venue-specific over rates (67%) and Radnicki’s 3.00 average away total goals. Given the timing trends, Second Half Over 1.5 at 2.00 is compelling, benefiting from Surdulica’s late concessions and Radnicki’s second-half scoring tilt.</p> <h3>Scorelines and Longshots</h3> <p>While 2-1 or 2-2 are plausible in an open second half, there’s also a fair case for 1-1 at 6.50 due to Surdulica’s relatively solid first-half control at home and Radnicki’s willingness to trade later on. If you prefer combination prices, Draw & BTTS at 4.33 matches the data profile for a tight, goal-trading contest.</p> <h3>Conclusion</h3> <p>With both teams’ venue-specific metrics pointing toward goals and mutual scoring, the core angles are BTTS and Overs, especially after halftime. Surdulica’s home advantage against Radnicki’s travel issues makes the hosts a reasonable DNB play at near evens, but the broader value lies in expecting both sides to find the net and the second half to carry the higher goal expectancy.</p> </body> </html>
