The coach of Vojvodina is expecting a difficult match against Radnički 1923 in the 5th round of MozzartBet Superleague of Serbia.

After being eliminated from the qualifications for the Conference League, Vojvodina is playing against the team from Kragujevac in Gornji Milanovac, and Bandović thanked the rival for accepting the proposal to postpone the match for one day.

  • We have two-three days to recover after the exhausting 120 minutes. I would like to thank the rival for accepting to postpone the match for one day. I believe these three points are very important for us. We are playing against an aggressive team against whom we played difficult matches during the previous season, there will be a lot of duels, and long balls. Radnički 1923 has dangerous individuals, who are especially dangerous from counter attacks. We want to play good pressing and have good positions behind the ball. As I said, it is a very significant match for us. It is positive that we won against Maribor with 1:0, even though we didn’t pass into the next round of competition. As for the injured players, everything remains the same – Poletanović, Vukanović, and Radulović, while the ultrasound didn’t show anything when it comes to the injury of Veličković, and Sukačev is new on the list, and will take a break for two-three weeks – Bandović said.

He underlined that the team has to improve realization and keep the good game in the defence, just like against Maribor.

  • If we create chances, we have to realize them, because we had a lot of them against Maribor. If we are good in the defence just like against Maribor, then it can decide this match. We have to play our game, create chances, but then realize them and beware of the counter attacks, keep our defensive players close to their offensive players – Bandović highlighted.

He commented on Lazar Nikolić, who played more offensively, and Bandović is expecting a lot from him in this season.

  • I think that you saw in the previous matches when he played the back position, but stood high in the offense. He is more of an offensive back, and more dangerous in the attack, but I hope that this penalty won’t affect him. He showed that he could help the team, and that he has quality. If he is a part of the defence as the right back, I want to use him in the attack too, because percentage-wise we are attacking more on that side – Bandović said.

The coach of Voša confirmed that it is not easy for the team or him after the defeat against Maribor.

  • Certainly, being eliminated wasn’t easy for them, and I am personally very sorry because of the game style and the match, because we were thinking positively. We have to recover and prepare for the next match, because we are a part of the great club. These situations can only make us stronger, which is most important – Bandović concluded.

The match between Radnički 1923 and Vojvodina is scheduled for Monday, at 7pm.
