Sloga saw off KК Тамиш Панчево 99-95 in the First League on Monday evening, a result that keeps them firmly planted in fourth place. The home side held their nerve in a contest that never quite settled into a rhythm you could predict.
By then you could see why the bookmakers had been cautious. Both sides traded blows without either pulling clear, and the margin at the final whistle told the story of a game decided by inches rather than miles.
The table tells you where these teams stand, and this result does not shift much. Sloga remain on twenty wins from thirty games, while Тамиш Pančevo sit eleventh with twelve victories and eighteen defeats. The gap between them is real enough, but not insurmountable.
Recent form adds context. Sloga have been inconsistent — a heavy 81-101 defeat to Слобода Ужице last week sits alongside some convincing wins earlier in the season. Тамиш Pančevo have struggled more consistently, losing seven of their last ten matches across all competitions.
And here's the thing about our prediction. We backed the hosts at 60 per cent confidence, and it came in. Not because Sloga were guaranteed to win, but because they have the home advantage and the squad depth to grind out results when it matters.
The final tally of 99-95 means Sloga extend their lead over Тамиш Pančevo in the standings. Both teams still have games to play, but this one goes into the books as another narrow victory for the fourth-placed side.
