Zrinjski played out a goalless draw against Vojvodina in a Club Friendly on 26 September 2026, with both sides content to test each other without committing fully. The match ended 0:0 at the home ground, a result that reflected the cautious nature of pre-season preparations rather than any tactical rigidity.
Zrinjski came into the fixture with mixed recent form, having won three of their last five matches while dropping points in two. They beat Velež 2:0 on 19 September and had earlier seen off Široki Brijeg 2:1, though the 0:1 defeat to Borac Banja Luka showed vulnerability. Against Sarajevo they had kept a clean sheet 1:0, suggesting defensive solidity when it mattered.
Vojvodina's run looked stronger on paper with four wins and a draw from their five previous outings. They drew 1:1 with IMT Novi Beograd in their most recent outing, but before that had beaten Partizan 3:2 and Zemun 2:1. The 5:0 victory over Čukarički and 1:0 win against Železničar Pančevo rounded out a period where they rarely got into trouble.
Neither side pushed hard enough to break the deadlock, and by then both managers had clearly prioritised fitness over results. The match lacked the intensity of competitive fixtures, with possession and chances distributed evenly between the two camps. Neither attack could find an opening, and the defence held firm throughout.
The draw leaves both teams with a point to build on as they continue their preparations. Zrinjski may have wanted more from a home friendly, while Vojvodina can take something from matching a solid defensive unit. What matters now is how they respond when the competitive season begins.
