Red Star Belgrade vs Napredak Preview

Napredak have been in poor form in April, scoring just two goals in five games. Red Star Belgrade are the most dominant force in Serbia and I am backing them to cruise past opposition on Wednesday.

Stats

HTH

Red Star Belgrade have a 33-2 advantage against Napredak with 7 draws in 42 matches.

They last met in February, the game being won by Red Star Belgrade 4-0 in Krusevac.

Red Star Belgrade Form

Red Star Belgrade are having an incredible run this season in Serbia, having no trouble defending the title and making it to the cup semifinal.

The Red and Whites won 31 out of 34 Super Liga matches and currently have a 28-point advantage over 2nd placed Partizan.

Vladan Milojevic’s side suffered an unexpected and only loss in the campaign recently to Radnicki Kragujevac 4-1 but bounced back with two straight wins against OFK Beograd 5-2 and TSC 2-1.

To reach the Serbian Cup semifinal, Crvena Zvezda eliminated Novi Pazar 2-1 in the previous round earlier this month, Cherif Ndiaye and Timi Elsnik scoring early in first half.

Napredak Form

Napredak are battling for survival in the Super Liga Relegation bracket, sitting in 6th place with 38 points after 34 rounds, just four points above the red zone.

They were in poor form in early April. After snatching a point at Jedinstvo Ub (0-0), Napredak suffered back to back defeats against Tekstilac 1-0 and Spartak Subotica 2-1.

Three-game winless run was ended with a 1-0 home win against Jedinstvo Ub on 28th April (Filip Krstic on target), but then lost the follow up clash to Cukaricki last weekend.

Team News

Hosts are without their wingers Peter Olayinka (Achilles tendon rupture) and Silas (ankle injury) who are standard members of the starting lineup.

Napredak don’t have any reported injuries or suspensions ahead of this match.

Predicted Starting Lineups

Crvena Zvezda: Glazer, Young-Woo, Djuric, Rodic, Krunic, Maksimovic, Elsnik, Katai, Ivanic, Duarte, Ndiaye

Napredak: Savic, Igrnjatovic, Djekovic, Bukorac, Vukajlovic, Krstic, Toseski, Stoiljkovic, Petkovic, Bastajic, Bubanj

Verdict

Red Star Belgrade v Napredak

Red Star Belgrade have won 31 of their 34 top-flight matches this season, beating Napredak twice 2-0 & 4-0. I am backing them to claim another victory while keeping the net intact.
