Crvena Zvezda form and stats
Crvena's mission in Champions League last season failed in the group stage.As the visiting team in Super Liga matches, Crvena Zvezda have produced an overall stat of 4-0-0 so far. Things are running smoothly for Crvena who hasn't tasted defeat in their last ten matches, regardless of venue and tournament. Their last defeat was against Backa Topola. A great winning streak in away games for Crvena as they have managed to win four matches in a row as the visitors. Not since the Backa Topola have they travelled home without three points.
Crvena Zvezda have succeeded in guarding their own goal lately, led by their goalkeeper. It's been 186 minutes since they last conceded in Super Liga.
It's the second away game in a row for Crvena Zvezda, but there's smiles all around after the 4-0 victory versus Mladost Lucani in the Super Liga last time out. Before that, Crvena Zvezda secured a home win against Vozdovac with the score 6-0.
As mentioned above, Crvena was the only team on the pitch versus Mladost Lucani in their previous game, winning 4-0. This could be a tougher task.
A new game in only one day for Crvena, the Super Liga home match versus Napredak. Busy days.
