It is time for Game 4 in Serbian Super league finals and do-or-die game for Crvena Zvezda Diva, since Partizan mt:s lead 2:1 in this best-of-five series.

It will be interesting to see if Crvena Zvezda Diva will be able at front of its supporters to stop Partizan mt:s to win title in Game 4.

This is all we want, but it won’t be that easy goal for Crvena Zvezda Diva. After all we expected to see win for Crvena Zvezda Diva in Game 3 after great performance in Game 2, it didn’t happen.

It is expected to see Crvena Zvezda Diva players under pressure in this game and honestly I am not quite sure if they can play under pressure especially against Partizan mt:s.

Chance for Crvena Zvezda Diva is that this game will be played in Zeleznik Sport hall, not in Pionir Arena, and I guess that it will be crowded with about 2.000 fans, mostly of Crvena Zvezda Diva.

Coach Svetislav Pesic said: “We don’t want to repeat performance from last game. We need more energy, to be more active. We need to control rhythm and result and I am sure that players will do their best to win.”

He continues: “We need to play more aggressive in defense. My experience is that we always need to be focused on our game, not on our opponents. We have plan and that’s the most important.”

He also added: “There is a some pressure on my players, but I am sure that we can point that pressure in good direction. We must take our destiny in our hands.”

Coach Vlade Jovanovic said: “We expect very different game in Game 4 since this game will be played in Zeleznik Sport hall, and we need some time to adjust.”

He continues: “It will be tough match and I expect from my players to be concentrated during whole match.”

Vlade Jovanovic also added: “We know each other very well, and I mean that there won’t be any big surprises. It is long series, players are empty, mentally and physically, and it is necessary to recover and re-gain energy which is the key.”

So, tonight at 20.00 CET, another one great spectacle, too bad this time in small Zeleznik Sport hall, with limited number of spectators. As we heard, only people with special invitations will be able to watch this game.

What to expect? If you ask me, what would I like, I would like to see Game 5, so that means that Crvena Zvezda Diva should win tonight.

If you ask me what is realistic, I must say that I expect win for Partizan mt:s in not that easy game, but I believe that Crvena Zvezda Diva lost their chances in Game 3.
