OFK Beograd host FK Radnik Surdulica on Sunday afternoon in the Mozzart Bet Superliga Championship Round, with both sides still fighting for position in the top half of the table. It’s sixth against seventh, but the gap is only a point, which gives this one a sharper edge than the standings first suggest. OFK sit on 44 points, Radnik on 43. That’s tight enough for one result to swing the tone of the closing weeks.
There’s more than pride on the line here. A win for Jovan Damjanovic’s side would give OFK a bit of breathing room and strengthen their grip on sixth. For Dusan Djordjevic’s Radnik, this is a chance to jump above a direct rival and keep their late-season push alive. They’ve already met twice this spring in league football, and neither side has found a clean edge yet. That matters.
The first meeting ended 0-0 in Belgrade on 9 April, and the rematch now comes at the same ground. Neither team has been overawed by the other, but neither has really landed a decisive punch either. That lack of separation is exactly why this looks like a close, tense game rather than a free-flowing one.
OFK’s recent run has been solid without being spectacular, and that feels about right for a side tucked just inside the top six. They came into this game on the back of a 0-0 home draw with Čukarički on 22 April, a match that never really caught fire. Before that, though, they’d gone to Novi Pazar and ripped them apart in a 5-1 away win on 18 April. That was a huge statement. Away from home, they looked sharp and ruthless.
The week before that, they drew 0-0 at home with Radnik Surdulica, then went to Radnički Niš and won 2-1 on 4 April. Earlier still, there was a wild 3-3 draw with IMT Beograd and a 2-2 draw away at Napredak Kruševac. So the pattern is clear enough: OFK are hard to beat, but they haven’t been locking games down at home. Too many draws. Not enough control.
Their home record tells the same story. Across league matches at their ground, OFK have managed 3 wins, 6 draws and 7 defeats, with 16 goals scored and 19 conceded. That’s not the sort of record that screams home advantage. It’s also why this fixture feels trickier than the table would imply. They’ve kept just one clean sheet in the two most recent home outings listed here, and while the 0-0 with Čukarički was tidy enough defensively, the 3-3 against IMT and the general churn at home show a side that can be stretched.
Still, there’s a useful streak underneath all that. OFK are unbeaten in nine, and that gives them a certain resilience. They don’t fold easily. They’ve also only gone one game without a win since that 5-1 success at Novi Pazar, which says plenty about their current stability. The flip side? They’ve drawn a lot of matches they should probably have turned into wins at home. That may come back to bite them here unless they sharpen up in the final third.
Radnik arrive in better immediate spirits after beating Novi Pazar 2-0 at home on 22 April. It was a clean, efficient performance, and they finished it off through Luka Zorić and an own goal from Bob Murphy Omoregbe. The scoreline was convincing enough, and the shot numbers backed it up: 13 attempts to six, with three on target to two. That’s the kind of game that can settle a squad.
Before that, they came away from Čukarički with a 2-2 draw on 18 April, another result that showed they’re not easily shoved aside. They’d already drawn 0-0 with OFK in Belgrade on 9 April, and before that they lost 2-1 at home to Crvena zvezda. There was also a 3-1 away win at Spartak Subotica and a 1-1 draw with Javor Ivanjica. So Radnik’s form has been choppy, but they’ve generally stayed in games. They’re not travelling badly, either.
Their away record is decent in a scrappy, stubborn sort of way: 3 wins, 6 draws and 7 defeats, with 16 goals scored and 21 conceded. That’s not dominant, and it doesn’t scream reliability, but it does show they can score on the road and usually make life difficult for hosts. In a division where margins are thin, that matters. They’ve scored in enough away matches to keep themselves alive, and they’ve come through one or two trips with real confidence intact.
Radnik’s biggest issue is probably consistency. They’ve lost just once in their last four, but the draw at OFK, the draw at Čukarički and the home loss to Zvezda paint a picture of a side that can be disciplined without being fully convincing. They’ve also been a bit more direct than OFK, which can make them dangerous. On the other hand, if they don’t get the first goal, they can drift into tight, awkward territory. And this fixture has the feel of one of those afternoons.
These two know each other well enough by now, and the recent meetings have been tight. The last clash, on 9 April, ended 0-0 in Belgrade. Before that, Radnik beat OFK 1-0 at home on 8 November 2025. Go back further and the pattern still leans towards low-margin games, with Radnik winning 2-1 in a cup tie in 2019 and 2-1 in league football back in 2015, while OFK’s cleanest success in the listed meetings was a 3-0 home win in August 2015.
There’s one clear angle in the head-to-head record: Radnik have avoided defeat in five straight meetings. That won’t decide Sunday on its own, but it does matter psychologically. OFK haven’t found an easy route through this opponent. Not yet.
We’re backing OFK Beograd to win at 6/5 here. It’s a fair price for a match that looks almost too evenly matched on paper, but OFK have the edge of the venue, the stronger overall goal return, and a steadier unbeaten run. Radnik are stubborn enough to make this messy, yet their away record isn’t strong enough to make them the natural pick. That’s the difference.
A 2-1 home win feels the likeliest outcome. OFK have enough attacking quality to nick this, especially if they can turn one of those home draws into a proper victory. Radnik should get chances too — their away scoring record says as much — which is why this doesn’t scream clean sheet. If you wanted a more cautious angle, OFK on the double chance would feel safe, but the straight home win has the cleaner price and the sharper upside.
