Suduva vs FK Crvena zvezda Prediction & Betting tips
These are the champions – the world-famous Champions League anthem will soon be heard again. From the last qualifying round, the play-offs, it will be played before the games. The title win of Liverpool FC is felt only a few days ago, already sounds the kickoff for the new Champions League season. For some teams, the dream of successfully qualifying for the group stage begins this week. In the duel between the Lithuanian and the Serbian champions there will be a meeting between Suduva Marijampole and Red Star Belgrade!
In the worst case scenario, the season ends on an international stage in the middle of preparation for the 2019/20 season. The way into the group stage is an extremely exhausting way from the first qualifying round, but Crvena Zvezda is the best proof that this path can end successfully. Last year, the Serbs fought through the qualification. A repetition is not necessarily expected, but an early failure as well not. Between Suduva Marijampole and Red Star Belgrade, a forecast on the Serbs is the logical choice. The first leg in Lithuania will be kicked off at 19pm on Tuesday.
Suduva Marijampole:
Unlike many other leagues in Europe, Lithuania still has a year-round championship. The FK Suduva Marijampole won the championship title for the second time in the calendar year 2018 and was thus able to successfully defend the title from the year 2017. The team of Vladimir Cheburin celebrated thereby a “start-finish victory” and led the table without interruption, however the championship fight remained exciting to the end. This tension will also be in 2019. Currently, the defending champion has two points ahead of runner-up Zalgiris. In 17 league games, there were 14 wins and three defeats. It was only necessary to concede ten goals.
A big advantage in this knockout duel for the team from Lithuania is certainly the fact that Suduva is in rhythm. On July 3, there was the last league game before the month-long summer break. This could be won against Kauno Zalgiris sovereign 3-0. The team is fully in the juice, recorded and has enough self-confidence to refuel.
Nevertheless, the chances of entering the second qualifying round are probably only theoretical. There are no internationally known actors in the Lithuanian squad. Although the Austrian football fans will say the offensive trio Mihret Topcagic, Sandro Gotal and Josip Tadic what, but compared to the Serbs, the squad is at least two classes to classify weaker. Accordingly comprehensible between Suduva Marijampole and Red Star Belgrade the odds offered in the first leg!
Red Star Belgrade:
The Salzburg fright! The Austrian football fans will still remember the past season, when the Serbs in Wals-Siezenheim equalized within a few moments a 0: 2 and thus thanks to the away goals rule the door in the million-league. Red Star Belgrade was felt 175 of the 180 KO minutes, the weaker team, but acted extremely efficient. In general, Red Star Belgrade has the feeling in recent years that a break is completely overrated. Already in the 2017/18 season, the Serbs from the first round fought in the group stage of a European competition – but then in the Europa League. After the CL participation in the previous year, the trip also begins this year in the first round and thus the summer break was short-lived.
The Milojevic team has a serious finish with Dejan Joveljic. The 19-year-old teenager is considered a huge talent in his homeland and is now the successor to Luka Jovic at Eintracht Frankfurt. In addition to Joveljic hurts the departure of Aleksa Terzic (19 years, AC Florence). Otherwise, however, the tribe of the team could be held together. A question mark in Lithuania is still behind goalkeeper Milan Borjan, who until a few days ago at the Gold Cup with Canada was active. The Serbs are led by the German globetrotter Marko Marin. After countless club changes he has found a home in Belgrade and was able to collect 20 points scorer in the previous year. For the many young talents a player is worth gold with his experience.
In the first preparatory games for the new season, there were mixed results, but the dress rehearsal could be won 3-1. Undoubtedly, the guests are much stronger. This is also clear when looking at the market value. Suduva has a value of just 4.78 million, while the value of Red Star Belgrade is estimated at more than 50 million.
