In the preceding match a 2-1 victory visiting Radnicki Kragujevac.

The home team are doomed in this game if you believe the odds offered on Crvena Zvezda to win. Let's see if Napredak are capable of creating a surprise here by looking at their earlier home games as massive outsiders: two games found revealing zero Napredak wins, zero draws and two defeats.

Crvena Zvezda form and stats

Crvena Zvezda's travelling support has been rewarded for their time and money so far this season, having witnessed Crvena Zvezda collect 22 points from their 9 away matches in the Super Liga. 7 victories and 1 draw have created these points (and only 1 defeat). Impressively, the visitors are on a five-match winning run which they hope continue versus Napredak.

The Crvena goalkeeper is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 262 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

The supporters enjoyed Crvena's previous game versus Vozdovac (placed 9th), a Super Liga 1-0 win played at home.

A home win before that, celebrating 3-0 vs Spartak Subotica.

As mentioned earlier, Crvena will not be satisfied unless they get a comfortable victory in this game. Performing as huge favourites away from home has earlier resulted in 24 wins (15 by two or more goals winning margin), one draw and one surprising defeat.

Crvena have another fixture away in just four days, a Europa League game vs Sporting Braga. A demanding schedule for the visiting team!

The prediction for this game is lots of goals as Crvena alone have scored more than three on average in their league games away (28 from 9 played). It's not easy to score on Crvena Zvezda as they have only conceded 8 goals from these away games.
