Borac (BL) seeks to dominate through high pressing and quick vertical transitions using a 4-3-3. This formation is built to stretch the opposition and win the ball back high up the pitch to catch opponents out of position. The team wants to control the tempo by spreading wide and using the full width of the pitch to create gaps in the central areas.

Marko operates between the posts to command the defensive area. The back line works as a flat back four where Predragovic and Kifla act as full backs to support the wide areas. Ivan L. and Ivan T. form the central pair, with Ivan L. providing cover and Ivan T. looking to step up to intercept passes. This unit stays compact to ensure they can shift easily and cover the spaces left by the advancing full backs.

The midfield functions as a three-man midfield with a carrier and creators. Lazar.Stankovic works to shield the defence and protect the back four while Vuk connects the defensive and attacking lines with his movement. Filip M. plays in the hole as an attacking ten behind the striker to find pockets of space between the lines. This trio aims to recycle possession and move the ball through the thirds to find the attackers in scoring positions.

In the final third, the team employs three attackers across the front. Argeta acts as the central presence to hold up the ball and pin the last defender, while Ritan Lazar and Petar M. work as wide wingers who cut inside to challenge the defence. The wingers look to isolate one on one situations against full backs to deliver crosses or cut back the ball. This attacking group presses from the front to force a long ball from the opposition.

One major advantage for Borac (BL) is the ability to press high in coordinated waves, making it difficult for opponents to build from the back. The presence of Filip M. allows the team to create numerical superiority in the attacking half. Additionally, the speed of transition from the midfield trio to the front three can hit in behind on the transition to punish high lines.

This 4-3-3 formation provides a heavy offensive presence and high intensity. It is best suited for matches against teams that play a high line or struggle to deal with wide overloads.
