Crvena Zvezda vs Celtic prediction

Crvena Zvezda, also known as Red Star Belgrade, managed to win the Belgrade derby at the weekend, defeating Partizan Belgrade by two goals to one, courtesy of goals from Timi Elsnik and Nemanja Radonjic. They have suffered one loss across all competitions so far this season, which involved a loss to Pafos in the UEFA Champions League.

There is a bit of off-field disgruntlement going on at Parkhead for Brendan Rodgers and his Celtic squad, following their elimination on penalties in the playoff round of the UEFA Champions League to Kazakh champions Kairat Almaty. They did make the Scottish League Cup semi-finals at the weekend with a win over Partick Thistle.

Celtic will head to the Serbian capital city with the concern that they can be overwhelmed by an intense and aggressive Red Star side, and siding with the hosts may well be good value here.
