Insights:
  • Crvena Zvezda have the most scored goals (98) in Super Liga
  • Zlatibor Čajetina have conceded at least twice as many goals as they have scored.

It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Crvena and Zlatibor Čajetina.

Crvena are already the Super Liga winners and can relax with the season objective secured. If they do relax it might give the away team a slightly better chance in this one. For Zlatibor Čajetina it's their last days at this level as relegation is a fact.

Crvena Zvezda form and stats

Crvena Zvezda, who have the most scored goals (98) in Super Liga, have been outstanding at home so far in the Super Liga with 16 wins, 1 draw and only 0 losses. Crvena has won so many consecutive home games (ten in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Stadion Rajko Mitić. We remember; it was Javor Ivanjica.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Vojvodina in a game that was won 1-0.

Opportunity lost for Crvena Zvezda in the Rad Beograd match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw.

Crvena Zvezda are an "over 2,5 goals" team alone here at Stadion Rajko Mitić in their league games, having scored an impressive 49 goals in 17 matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 4 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. Crvena have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 6 goals.
