Red Star Belgrade vs FC Copenhagen
Champions League Qualification

Kick-off at 19:45 UK / 20:45 CET
Venue: Stadion Rajko Mitić (Belgrade).
Prediction of Red Star Belgrade vs. FC Copenhagen
Even though their final match ended in a disappointing defeat, it must be mentioned that the home team has become a force to be reckoned with, at home.
The squad are on a four-game winning streak at this place, three of which have seen the hosts win with a clean clean sheet.
The visitors have not been consistent in their last five matches and failed to win twice in that match. Apart from that, the two victories they secured came against quite ordinary parties.
With that in mind, the inaugural match between the two teams is more than likely to be a tight match, with the Red Star certain to be at the top with a thin margin.
Both sides have kept clean sheets in their last two matches, and have featured less than 2.5 goals on the scorecard. With a record of their recent defenses, we can put aside opportunities to score at the weekend.

BELGRADE VS FC RED STAR BETTING COPENHAGEN TIPS
After winning the second leg with a two-goal difference, Crvena, better known as Red Star Belgrade for English football fans, was in a seemingly comfortable position ahead of their trip to Helsinki, although after losing two goals to one, they only managed to get past it. Now against strong opposition, it is very important that Crvena get positive results at home.
Facing Copenhagen isn't going to be easy, but the hosts Tuesday came to this match behind some delightful qualifying efforts. They may have lost the second leg against HJK, although when they emerged from the match with an expected goal difference of +0.08, it is fair to say that their defeat was inappropriate. What's more, after going through the entire match with an expected goal difference of +1.94, Crvena fully deserves their place in the third qualifying round.
What's more, the fact that Serbia have saved their best attack effort while playing at home is a good sign. Against Suduva during the first qualifying round, Vladan Milojević's men scored twice and created the expected 1.74 goals, while they also scored twice and created the expected 1.89 goals for the goal when scoring twice against HJK.
Unlike their host, Copenhagen has taken part in only one qualifying round so far. Visitors Tuesday went to Belgrade because of a comfortable 3-0 aggregate victory over the Welsh TNS team. They faced weak opposition, but there were many things that were liked about the way the Danes finished their work without fuss. Away from home, they created more than their opponents on the way to a 2-0 victory, while they were equally solid when adding to their lead, winning with a goal to zero, at home.
In betting, after a good home appearance in the previous round, Crvena can be predicted to be a favorite, even though they make little appeal with such a short price. Copenhagen have not been seriously tested in qualifying, but they may be a little too big. However, the best option at the current price, seems to be 'Both Teams to score' the best choice.
Crvena, scoring four goals and posting the expected goals for 1.74 and 1.89, looked strong forward at home, while the visitors offered many goals both at home and away during the previous round, scoring three goals and providing the expected goal with numbers 1.49 and 1.45. If we consider this together with the fact that the hosts on Tuesday, for all they looked strong offensively, struggling to keep small fish Suduva still underpaid, conceding one goal and sending 1.86 expected goals, then bets on both teams to make goals certainly look decent.
