Borac Cacak vs Grafičar - Prva Liga

A fascinating Prva Liga chapter awaits on September 5, 2026 when Borac Cacak take on Grafičar at the home ground — two sides with plenty to play for and everything to prove. Catch up with all the action from Chelsea's pre-season clash with AC Milan.

Both camps will view the Prva Liga meeting at the home ground as an opportunity to put a marker down, regardless of where they currently stand. The hosts have been in fine fettle of late, their recent run of L underlining a campaign win rate of 77.78%. The visitors arrive short of confidence, WL in their last five and a season win rate of just 22.22%. One side has leaned on a miserly defence, the other on a free-scoring attack, and the meeting of those contrasting strengths promises an intriguing tactical subtext. Michael Carrick has spoken on why Marcus Rashford did not feature for Manchester United in the club's most recent pre-season outing.

The tactical battle could prove decisive. Borac Cacak may lean on their home advantage to dictate the tempo, but Grafičar have shown they can be dangerous when allowed to play on their own terms. In his press conference on Friday, Tuchel admitted it 'hurt him' not to play the United man in America.

Game-changers are scattered across both line-ups, and the contest may well be decided by which side's match-winners deliver on the day. Whoever wins the individual duel between the two sides' chief playmakers is likely to dictate the rhythm and, ultimately, the destination of the points. The former Chelsea midfielder knows the league intimately, as a coach and a player.

With the sides closely matched, the outcome may well hinge on which team takes its chances on the day. With the sides so closely matched, a 2-2 stalemate looks the most likely way this one ends. With positions in the Prva Liga table to defend and momentum to chase, neither side can afford to leave anything in the tank. Manchester City will begin another Premier League season with major uncertainty hanging over the club after league chief executive Richard Masters admitted the long-awaited verdict on their financial case has taken longer than expected.
