FK Crvena zvezda vs Olympiacos Piraeus Prediction & Betting tips
High voltage or boredom? This question arose after the draw of the Champions League in some groups. Not infrequently, two of the four teams clearly favored in the fight for the tickets for the knockout round – including in Group B, in which Bayern Munich is on the road.
The Munich and the finalist from the previous year, the Tottenham Hotspurs, should normally make the two eighth-final places among themselves. But what is normal in football? In particular Olympiakos Piraeus has set an exclamation point on the first matchday, when the Greeks against the Spurs after a 0: 2 deficit still earned a deserved 2: 2.
As expected, the Serbs lost 0-3 in the Allianz Arena. On the second matchday, especially the English are already under pressure in their home game against the team of Niko Kovac. If the Londoners lose against the German record champions, this could be the big chance for the competition.
For this reason, the match between Red Star Belgrade and Olympiacos Piraeus, in which a forecast is very tricky, is very important. Both clubs dominate in their national leagues, even if the Serbs are currently not at the top of the table.
A cross comparison between the Serbian and Greek league is difficult to draw, so serve the two games from the first matchday in the premier class as the main clue.
Also the bookmakers have handled this and therefore chose between Red Star Belgrade and Olympiacos Piraeus, the odds for a tip on the away win lower than for a home win. So the guests are the easy favorites in the game, which starts at 20:00 on Tuesday evening. The management in the 90 minutes takes over the French referee Benoit Bastien.
Red Star Belgrade:
Red Star Belgrade has held the predominance in Serbian football for quite some time. After the championship title in the preseason it looks also currently in the Super League good for the reigning champion. Although the squad of coach Vladan Milojevic currently ranked second behind the tied team Backa Topola, but the red-whites have completed a game less.
Apart from a short phase in mid-September, everything is going according to plan so far. In the four days between 18.09 and 22.09, however, there were two bitter bankruptcies. First, the team were defeated in the Champions League at Bayern with 0: 3 and showed their limits. Then followed the defeat in the city derby against Partizan (0: 2).
After two convincing 3: 1 wins, Belgrade has recovered quickly and gained new confidence for their second appearance in the premier class. At the weekend coach Milojevic could even afford the luxury of sparing some stars like German Marko Marin for Tuesday’s important international game.
If the club wants to reach at least third place in the strong group B then a victory against the Greeks is almost a duty. The hosts want to rely on their home strength. National Red Star is still unbeaten in the entire calendar year and also there were only two draws in the Champions League qualifying competition – otherwise only victories.
The fans always provide a breathtaking atmosphere and in the cauldron was defeated in the preseason, including the eventual champions Liverpool. Between Red Star Belgrade and Olympiacos Piraeus is a tip on the odds of the home team so not so outlandish.
Only four goals conceded in eight games at home testify to a very stable defense, which is to crack. Personnelly, there will not be too many changes to the starting eleven against Bayern. Milan Rodic, who played in the league this weekend, will miss out on injury just as much as Branko Jovicic. Otherwise, all the players are on board and eager to get the first or the top scores on the international stage in this group phase.
Olympiacos Piraeus:
The reigning Greek champion has earned a respectful portion of the 2-2 on Matchday 1 against Tottenham Hotspurs. The performance was over 90 minutes very strong and the Portuguese coach Martins has his protégé perfectly adjusted to the vice-champion of the previous year.
After a 0-2 deficit, the home side proved Moral and earned thanks to the results of Mathieu Valbuena and Daniel Podence earned a point. The two scorers did not only shine because of their goals and delivered a strong performance. This Olympiakos has to prove that the results in the league are not only due to the lack of competition.
In the Super League, the Red-White no club can reach the water. Piraeus leads the table after five matchdays with an impressive goal difference of 10: 1. So the Greeks also know how to defend their goal, so on Tuesday in the Serbian capital, a real defensive battle is to be expected. Between Red Star Belgrade and Olympiakos Piraeus, the odds for “Under Goals Betting” formally offer.
Personnel will see the starting eleven of the Tottenham game very similar. There are two failures to complain about. However, Konstantinos Fortounis and Lazaros Christodoulopoulos have been missing for a few weeks due to injury, which is why there is no need for any changes.
In the hope of another mistake by Tottenham against leaders Bayern, the Greeks can bring a sense of achievement on Tuesday in a really good starting position in Group B.
