This week had a great importance for FK Novi Pazar, who hosted Red Star just after a very important 2-0 away victory against Borac last weekend.

It has been raining for days in Novi Pazar. However, just before th match started, it has stopped and made “Pazarci to be more interested in the game. The northern stands were just built and it was the first match that Torcida Sandzak would be watching the game from there. The 12,000 fans, forcing the limits of the stadium had a support for 90 minutes for their team. Novi Pazar, playing quite well and creating difficultis for the strong Red Star shared the points with a result of 0-0. However, news coming from Uzice was quite good. 2-1 away defeat of Borac againts Sloboda meant that the gap between Borac and Novi Pazar had increased to 3 points. Moreover, the 2-1 away defeat of Javor against Partizan, and 1-0 home defat of Hajduk against Vojvodina meant a breath for Novi Pazar for an expectedly difficult week. Borça, another candidate of relegation had an away victory over OFK Beograd, who has a tendency to loose easy points againts “relegation candidates”. If not, Borça would have the same point like Novi Pazar. (photo: www.haberbosnak.com)

Novi Pazar will have an away match with Radniçka this weekend. The struggle between Radniçka, Jagodina, Vojvodina and Sloboda for playing in European competitions continue. Two of those four teams will have this right. Thus, it seems it will be a bit difficult for Novi Pazar to gain point(s) from this match.

On the other side, Borac will be playing home match against OFG Beograd, who has a tendency to loose easily against relegation candidates, and Borac will probably gain three points. The average difference between Novi Pazar and Borac is 3 goals. If this balance will not be harmed much, the ranks will not change.

Javor will be playing against Rad, who does not have a claim on anything, nor have a fear of relegation. In addition to that, Rad and Novi Pazar are recognized as “enemy” teams. It is probable that Javor may have three points in this home match as well. Hajduk will be guest of Metalac. There are three options for this match. It will be a “to be or not to be” match for Metalac.

Borça will have a difficult home match against Jagodina. If they will gain single point from this match, it will be excellent result for them. Which will increase the value of their victıry against OFK Beograd.

As can be seen, 25th week will probably not bring good news for Novi Pazar. However, 26th and 27th weeks do have the potential to be the weeks of salvation for Pazarci.
