Red Star Belgrade vs FC Copenhagen Tips & Predictions – Both Sides to Score in the Conference League
Red Star Belgrade demonstrate strong scoring potential with experienced forwards Marko Arnautovic and Aleksandar Katai leading their attack. However, the team's defensive struggles in European competitions are apparent. As a result, the analysis suggests that both teams are likely to score in the upcoming match on Thursday, reflecting Red Star’s offensive threat but lack of defensive solidity.

Two Previous Meetings
Red Star Belgrade and FC Copenhagen battled in the UCL qualifiers in August 2019, the Serbian side advancing after a penalty shootout.
Serbian Champion Underperforming in Europe
Red Star Belgrade are having an extremely disappointing season in European competitions, dropping from the UCL qualifiers (lost to Hapoel Beer Sheva 3-0 on aggregate) to the Europa League qualifiers (lost to Plzen 5-4 on aggregate).
Their Conference League opening match also turned into a disaster, wasting a 2-1 lead last week against Lugano in Switzerland and losing 3-2 after conceding two late goals.
Albert Riera’s side is unchallenged in the Serbian Super Liga, collecting 34 out of possible 36 points and lead the title race convincingly with a 32-4 goal difference.
Lions Doing Well Across Competitions
FC Copenhagen delivered an outstanding performance last week, beating favored Braga 3-0 in the Conference League opening round in Denmark. Veterans Andreas Cornelius (scored a brace) and Mohamed Elyounoussi appearing on the scoresheet.
The Lions are also doing great in the Superliga this season, sitting top of the table after eleven rounds with 25 points, but recent form hasn’t been idea.
After their five-game winning streak ended with a 2-1 loss to Midtjylland in Herning, they were held to a 1-1 home draw by AGF Aarhus last weekend (had 1.93-0.95 xG and 24-7 shots).

Verdict
Red Star Belgrade have good scoring potential with veterans Marko Arnautovic and Aleksandar Katai upfront, but their back line is struggling in European competitions. I am backing both sides to find the net on Thursday.
