Crvena Zvezda form and stats

Crvena have reached this Champions League stage through battling and winning against Kairat. Crvena participated in Champions League the last season, where they reached the 3rd qualifying round.

Only two Super Liga home games for Crvena Zvezda so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 1 draw and 0 defeat. Crvena has a nice streak going on as they have played 42 consecutive leaguegames without losing (regardless of home/away). They are keen to extend their tally, a streak that began after the Backa Topola defeat 415 days ago.

Happy days for Crvena Zvezda in their previous game, a Super Liga match away at Spartak Subotica that ended with a 3-1 victory.

Previous to that game, a Champions League home match hosting Kairat in a game that was won 5-0.

Crvena are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found two matches and the win/draw/lost stats: Won two, drew zero and lost zero.

Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Napredak are coming to town in three days.

Crvena Zvezda has scored 1 goal so far and conceded 0 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Sheriff form and stats

The traveling awayteam has defeated Alashkert and Teuta Durres in order to reach 3rd qualifying round of Champions League. Sheriff was sent out of Champions League in the 2nd qualifying round last season.

The story so far for the visiting team on their National Division travels is 1 win, 0 draws and 0 defeats. When we have look at the Champions League statistics, we find 4W-0D-0L. This is both home and away. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Petrocub game have they lost an away game, meaning Sheriff has taken points from twelve away matches in a row.

Sheriff play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-1 victory visiting Floresti.

A home win before that, celebrating 3-1 vs Alashkert.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Sheriff played away with similar odds. This revealed one game. The visitors overcame the odds to win zero times, one were draw and the home team won as expected zero times.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, Sheriff has managed 3 goals and let in 1 from 1 match.
