In the 21st round of the Super League of Serbia, last in the first part of the season, Vojvodina will play against Proleter from Novi Sad tomorrow. In the historic, first official match between these rivals, played a few months ago, red and whites won with the result 1-0 and surely they would not mind that the identical result in their favor happens tomorrow.

According to Manager’s duty completer of the “old lady” Radovan Krivokapic, that will not be easy, but still it is the only goal he has set ahead of his players.

– What was far off, came close. There is one more game in the autumn part of the championship and we want to gladden our fans and try to improve the image of ourselves in this half-season. Proleter is a team that is known as our “younger brother”, or at least it should be. We know each other well and there are no secrets between us, and we even meet in the city. A lot of our players played in Proleter, just as they have a lot of those who went through the Vojvodina Youth Academy, so there will be plenty of motives on both sides. After all, the very fact that this match is called the Vojvodina derby says that there will be tension on the pitch. I sincerely hope that everyone will be at the level of the derby, starting with the players, but also us coaches, sympathizers, fans, and it is also good the match is assigned to one of the better referees that we have – says Krivokapic.

Just like today, snowfall in Novi Sad is expected tomorrow, and both teams are keen to win because of prestige, but also because of the points and better position on the table ahead of the winter break.

– Do not expect nice football, especially due to weather conditions and the state of the pitch. We are preparing for a trench fight and a real battle on the pitch, and I believe that they are also thinking like this in Proleter, since I am sure that they too will have a great desire to prove themselves. However, be sure that our desire will be even greater and that, as much as ready they be, we will be ready even more. We have a commitment to the club that we present and want to finish the fall in the rhythm we played in the last three games. Tomorrow it’s not so important to play beautifully as much as to do our best and win, so we can take a break in a good mood – says Krivokapic.

Even on this match, Vojvodina will not play in its full squad.

– It has become traditional for us to always have some problems, so it is like that this time too. Because of the yellow cards, we will not be able to count on Zlomislić, and the list of previously injured players is now expanded by Stojkovic – says Krivokapic, who, when asked by the journalist to assess this half-season of Vojvodina from one to five, said that he would rate it between three and four.

He points out that he has not yet talked to the management of the club about whether he will lead the team as the Manager on the spring.

– On my initiative, we have not specified anything yet, because I do not want players to be bothered with that. Let’s just finish this right, and then we’ll talk about my future, Krivokapic says.

Vojvodina and Proleter will enter tomorrow’s game from the seventh and eighth place on the table, although both teams have 27 points.

– The position on the table and the results achieved by the two teams indicate that there will not be any favorites tomorrow. Vojvodina is the third club in the country and it has a much greater history than Proleter, but the fact that we are currently sharing the seventh and eighth place on the table suggests a really uncertain game – said Krivokapic.

The match between Vojvodina and Proleter will be played tomorrow at 3 PM at “Karadjordje”, and tickets for this match will be sell at prices of 300 (West) and 100 dinars (North). Tickets for the West will be sell at the stadium’s main box office (between the western and southern stands), while tickets for the north will be sell at the premises of the fan group The Firm at the northern part of the stadium. The box office will be open on match day, at the latest an hour before the kick off.

Due to works on the access infrastructure of the shopping mall “Promenada”, the eastern tribune will be closed for this match. All owners of season tickets for the east, with their season tickets, will be able to freely enter the western or northern stand.
