FK IMT Beograd welcome FK Radnički Niš to Monday evening’s Mozzart Bet Superliga relegation-round meeting knowing there’s still a lot to play for, even if the table isn’t provided here. In a section of the season where every point drags a little more meaning with it, both sides are trying to steady themselves, protect momentum and put a bit of breathing space between themselves and danger. This one matters.
It also comes with a neat edge. IMT arrive on a five-match unbeaten run, while Radnički have just snapped a miserable spell with a much-needed win over Javor Ivanjica. That should make for a lively contest rather than a cagey one. The visitors have been leaking goals far too easily, IMT have shown plenty of resilience, and the recent head-to-head record has hardly been one-way traffic.
The bigger picture? IMT have at least started to look like a side that can grind. Radnički still look volatile, especially away from home. On paper, that leans the evening towards the hosts. On the pitch, they’ll need to prove it.
IMT’s last six matches tell a pretty decent story, and it starts with patience. They opened this recent stretch with a 1-2 home defeat to Crvena zvezda on 14 March, a result that could have broken their rhythm. It didn’t. They followed with a wild 3-3 draw away to OFK Beograd, then held Vojvodina 0-0 at home. That alone suggested some backbone. A 1-3 win away at TSC Bačka Topola added real substance, and the next two fixtures kept the momentum rolling: a 1-1 draw with Mladost Lučani at home and a 1-0 away win at Napredak Kruševac on 23 April, sealed late by Nikola Glišić from Luka Luković’s assist.
That late winner at Napredak matters. It wasn’t just another point. It was the sort of away result that gives a team belief heading into another tight relegation-round game. The shot count there was strong too, with IMT coming out on top 13-6 and forcing eight efforts on target to Napredak’s two. They didn’t create a glut of big chances, but they were the sharper side. That’s the sort of thing that tends to travel.
At home, their numbers are not available in full, so the cleanest read comes from the pattern of performances rather than a hard split. Still, there’s enough evidence here to say they’re hard to beat at the moment. Five games unbeaten is no fluke. They’ve mixed clean sheets with games where they’ve had to chase, and that 0-0 against Vojvodina showed they can shut things down when needed. The flip side? They’re not ruthless. The 1-1 with Mladost and the 0-0 with Vojvodina show a side that can control phases but doesn’t always turn pressure into goals. You wouldn’t call them explosive. You would call them awkward.
That matters against Radnički because IMT don’t need to run wild to win this. A disciplined 90 minutes, a bit of set-piece sharpness, maybe one moment from Nikola Glišić or another late runner, and they’ve got enough. They’ve looked solid enough to trust. Not glamorous. Solid.
Radnički Niš arrive with a much bumpier recent record. Their last six have contained only one win, and four of those defeats came before the relief of beating Javor Ivanjica 3-2 on 23 April. That win had some drama about it too. They were already dealing with a chaotic night when Javor went down to ten men, and Radnički still had to make the most of it. The goals came through Miloš Spasić, Aleksandr Shestyuk twice, Herve Toure and Aleksa Radonjić on a night that swung back and forth before they finally crossed the line.
Before that, though, it had been rough. They lost 2-0 away to Crvena zvezda, 1-2 at home to OFK Beograd, and 2-3 away at Vojvodina. Add the earlier 0-2 home defeat to Spartak Subotica and it’s easy to see why confidence has been fragile. Their away form, especially, has been a concern. The 3-2 loss at Vojvodina summed it up: competitive enough to score, not nearly secure enough to protect themselves. That’s a bad combination when you’re trying to get results on the road.
Their away record isn’t listed in full, but the recent pattern is plain enough. They’ve conceded in bunches, they’ve been forced into matches where they’re chasing the game, and even when they score, they rarely look settled enough to hold the line. The closing odds for the Javor win were around 2.20 and the match still produced five goals. That tells you a bit about where Radnički are right now: capable of hurting opponents, far too easy to hurt in return.
There’s also a mental aspect here. Radnički have won once in six, and the response to setbacks hasn’t been clean. They’ve been behind in games, they’ve been under pressure, and they’ve allowed opponents into matches too often. Can they keep it together away from home against a side in better rhythm? That’s the question. At the moment, the answer looks like no.
These two have already met plenty of times in the recent Superliga cycle, and the recent pattern is pretty straightforward: tight games, goals on both sides, and no real home monopoly. Radnički edged the most recent meeting 2-1 at home on 22 February 2026, while IMT won 1-0 in Beograd on 21 September 2025. Before that there was a 1-1 draw in Niš in April 2025, a 3-0 Radnički win in February 2025, and a 3-1 IMT victory in August 2024. You get the picture. These fixtures are rarely dead.
One thing does stand out from the recent meetings: Radnički haven’t kept a clean sheet in the head-to-head sequence, and the games generally carry enough threat to get both sets of supporters involved. That matters here because neither side arrives looking especially secure at the back. If this opens up early, it probably stays open.
We’re backing FK IMT Beograd to win at 1/1. It’s a fair price for a home side that’s unbeaten in five and coming off a sharp 1-0 away win at Napredak, against a Radnički team that’s still giving up chances too freely. IMT don’t need to be brilliant here. They just need to be organised, patient and a bit more stable than their opponents. That should be enough.
The 2-1 correct score fits well. IMT have enough about them to land the first punch, but Radnički have scored in enough recent games to keep this from being straightforward. Still, the away side’s defensive record is a worry, and if they start slowly again, IMT will fancy their chances of taking control. An alternative angle is Both Teams To Score, but the cleaner play is the home win.
