Inter vs Red Star: Predictions and Betting Odds at 2.27
In the opening round of the Champions League, Inter secured points on the road in Manchester and will undoubtedly strive to build on that success at home. Red Star could not earn points against Benfica on their turf and are unlikely to leave the pitch willingly in Milan on October 1. How will the upcoming match unfold and what bets should you consider? Find out in our prediction.
Command Analysis
Inter
ItalyCurrent Form
Inter faced a tough challenge in the opening round away at Manchester City. Under Simone Inzaghi's guidance, the team understandably played defensively, managing to secure a goalless draw 0-0.
The Nerazzurri have encountered some difficulties in Serie A. Fans and management did not expect to see them with a mere 11 points after six matches, which leaves them in fourth place. Additionally, they suffered a disappointing defeat in the Milan derby 1-2. Inter also narrowly avoided defeat against the modest Monza, only equalizing at the death 1-1. However, they bounced back last round with a 3-2 victory away against Udinese.
It's concerning that in their last two league matches, the team conceded four goals. Notably, in their two home matches against Lecce (2-0) and Atalanta (4-0), they managed to keep clean sheets.
Injuries and Suspensions
Buchanan and Barella are injured and will miss today's match.
Betting Trends
- Inter has not lost any of their last nine Champions League matches at home
- In seven of their last nine home Champions League games, Inter did not concede during regular time
- In 18 of their last 19 matches, Inter players were caught offside more frequently than their opponents
Projected Lineup: Sommer – Pavard, Acerbi, Bastoni – Dumfries, Frattesi, Calhanoglu, Zielinski, Dimarco – Thuram, Martinez
FK Crvena Zvezda
SerbiaCurrent Form
Crvena Zvezda faced Benfica in their opening match at home, suffering a 1-2 defeat. The Serbian team conceded both goals before halftime. In the second half, they improved significantly, managed to score one goal, and created several attacking opportunities but failed to secure even a draw.
Following the disappointing Champions League match, Vladan Milojevic's squad delivered a commanding 4-0 victory against their arch-rivals Partizan in the domestic Superliga and also secured a solid 2-1 win over Zeleznicar. It comes as no surprise that Crvena Zvezda sits comfortably at the top of the league table, accumulating 25 points after nine rounds.
Playing in Milan will clearly be challenging given the gap in quality. It's evident that the team will focus on defense and rely on the individual skill of Brazilian forward Bruno Duarte, who joined the team this summer and has already netted four goals in the Superliga.
Injuries and Suspensions
Ivanic and Mimovic are currently sidelined due to injuries.
Interesting Betting Trends
- Crvena Zvezda has lost their last five away matches in the Champions League
- Players from the Serbian club have scored in five of their last six away games in the Champions League
- In seven of the last eight matches, Crvena Zvezda players have committed more fouls than their opponents
Expected Lineup: Glazer – En Vu, Djiga, Spajic, Rodic – Krunic, Elshnik – Silas, Ilic, Olajinka – Duarte.

1.95Tip and bets
In Manchester, Simone Inzaghi showcased his tactical prowess, effectively playing a counter-attacking style. Today they face a different opponent, yet after some shaky defensive performances in the league, we expect Inter to adopt a cautious approach, prioritizing results. Red Star Belgrade will undoubtedly aim to withstand the pressure from their rivals. Given this scenario, we anticipate no more than three goals in this match. Moreover, it is noteworthy that in four of their last five home matches in the Champions League, Inter has scored more than once.
Our prediction is a total of under four goals at odds of 1.65
Match Outcome Bet
There is a clear class difference between the teams, making it unlikely that Crvena Zvezda, traditionally weak away in European competitions, will secure points against Inter. However, we don’t expect a crushing victory for the favorite, especially as the Nerazzurri have shown inconsistency at the start of the season.
The second bet is on Crvena Zvezda to win with an Asian handicap of (+2.5) at odds of 1.75.
Corner Bet
Bookmakers believe that Inter will win the corner count comfortably. However, Crvena Zvezda has shown impressive form in this area, with 20 wins in their last 24 matches.
The prediction is for Crvena Zvezda to win the corner count with a handicap of (+3.5) at odds of 2.27.
