Crvena Zvezda form and stats

2-0-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Crvena Zvezda in their Super Liga matches away.

Crvena Zvezda had fun at their own home (Red Bull Arena) last time out, beating Javor Ivanjica 3-2. Mijatović and Olayinka scored. The 3-2 victory against Javor Ivanjica could easily have been bigger as the victors made a valiant effort at breaking the goal posts, hitting them three times. Midfield player Kanga was the top player of the team with a match rating of 8.63/10. Kanga hit seven key passes and had 104 successful passes (of 111 total).

Ahead of that, the Serbian Cup victory away at Trajal Krusevac.

The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Super Liga trip to IMT Novi Beograd.

Today's guests are confident travelers having scored 11 goals in 4 league games away this season. The Crvena Zvezda manager Bakhar has some worries about the defense as 9 goals have been conceded in these travels.
