RK Vojvodina secured a 33:30 victory over Nexe in a club friendly on 22 August 2026. The result adds to a mixed run for both sides, though Vojvodina came out on top this time. Nexe have not won since their 33:32 triumph over Besiktas back in August, while Vojvodina have struggled in recent outings against Ohrid and Zagreb.
The home side started brightly enough, but Vojvodina's experience showed through. They ended a barren spell with this win, something they clearly needed after back-to-back defeats. The visitors let the game flow when it mattered, catching Nexe flat-footed on the break.
Nexe's recent form has been uneven. They beat Olympiacos 32:29 on 21 August, but lost to Vardar and Trimo Trebnje in the preceding days. That inconsistency is what worries their coaching staff — one minute they have too much for opponents, the next they are watching from behind.
Vojvodina's situation is different. They have beaten Crvena Zvezda and Kikinda earlier this year, but those wins feel distant now. The loss to Ohrid on 19 August was particularly concerning. By then, you could sense they needed something to change.
This friendly does not affect any table standings, but it tells you something about momentum. Vojvodina held on grimly in the closing stages, showing character. Nexe will look at what went wrong — they had their chances but could not convert them when it counted.
