KF Tirana (Alb) vs FK Crvena zvezda (Srb) Prediction & Betting tips

While Red Star Belgrade won the Champions League in 1991, or its predecessor, the European Champions Cup, KF Tirana has never reached the group stage of an international competition before. Even when the competitions were still held in knockout mode, the Albanian champions never got beyond the second round.

Against this background, in the run-up to the game between KF Tirana and Red Star Belgrade, the bookmakers’ odds clearly turn towards the Serbs, as the odds comparison of the betting base shows.

However, KF Tirana against Red Star Belgrade has to take into account in the forecast that there will be no second leg. As is well known, the results of the two final tournaments of the previous season that were played in August have only just shown that the supposed underdog can become a favorite scare in individual knockout games.

Nevertheless, in our opinion there is largely no alternative to playing Tip 2 at KF Tirana against Roter Stern Belgrade. After all, the Serbian flagship club is a completely different caliber than the small Albanian team. Further betting recommendations for the second qualifying round of the premier class are available under “Betting tips Champions League”.

KF Tirana:

Traditional club KF Tirana is the Albanian record champion with 25 championships won. But especially in the recent past, the club, which was founded in 1920, has mostly been overshadowed by other clubs such as Skenderbeu Korce.

At the end of July, the first overall victory in the Superiore category in eleven years was celebrated all the more exuberantly, with which the troops known as Tirona bought their tickets for the qualifying round for the UEFA Champions League for the first time since that time.

If KF Tirana failed eleven years ago at the Norwegian representative Stabaek Fotball, the white-blue team at least survived the first round safely this year. With a 2-0 away win at the favored Georgian champions Dinamo Tiflis, Emmanuel Egbo’s squad even achieved a real respectable success.

Now Tirona is also playing into the cards to have been assigned home rights in the 2nd qualifying round for the Champions League by drawing lots. In the form of Red Star Belgrade, however, a real heavyweight is now visiting the Selman Stërmasi Stadium.

Against the background that the pure market value of the Serbian team is more than 13 times as high, it is not surprising that the odds of the bookmakers clearly speak against the Albanian champions at KF Tirana against Red Star Belgrade.

A further complicating factor for Emmanuel Egbo’s team is that the league operation in Albania will not start again until September 12th, which means that the team, which had to let several performers go in the summer transfer window, is not yet fully back to the rhythm of the game. The conditions could hardly be more adverse.

Red Star Belgrade:

Crvena zvezda, better known in German-speaking countries as Red Star Belgrade, is undoubtedly one of the most successful football teams in Eastern Europe. In the eternal table of the former highest Yugoslav league, the red and whites occupy first place as well as in national Serbian football.

In the summer of 2020, the fifth state championship of the last six years was just wrapped up there. In connection with the Yugoslav league and the former top division of Serbia and Montenegro, 31 national championships have already been booked.

In addition, of course, there is the international coup mentioned at the beginning, when Red Star Belgrade won the European Cup on penalties against Olympique Marseille in 1991. The red-whites played a total of 141 games in the most important European competition for club teams.

With 66 wins, they even won the majority of these games. This puts them in 57th place in the UEFA ranking, ahead of teams like Mönchengladbach or Eindhoven. Most recently they were twice in a row in the group stage of the Champions League, but were eliminated with only one win as the group bottom.

Now the goal is once again to be among the best 32 teams that will be in the draw for the 2020/21 group stage on October 1, 2020. At KF Tirana against Red Star Belgrade, tip 2 is not only supported by the fact that there was a 5-0 victory over Europa FC in the first qualifying round.

The fact that the 2020/21 season has already started in the Serbian league and Crvena zvezda clearly leads the table there with five wins from five games and only two goals conceded, underlines that almost everything is right in Dejan Stanković’s team at the moment. With a correspondingly broad chest, it is now to Albania.
