Command Analysis
FK Crvena Zvezda
SerbiaCurrent form
It is not the first season that Crvena Zvezda has not been able to achieve any significant results on the European stage. The current Champions League is no exception, there is no breakthrough. In three rounds, the Serbian grandee has not scored a single point, having conceded 11 goals. At the start, they managed to resist Benfica on their home field (1:2). However, then there were two crushing away defeats from Inter (0:4) and Monaco (1:5). In the game with the Monegasques, there was some intrigue in the first half, which ended with a score of 2:1 in favor of the representative of Ligue 1. In the second 45 minutes, Monaco completely dominated, there was no talk of the Serbs being able to recoup - not a single shot on target.
In the domestic Super League, Vlad Milojevic charges are usually unrivaled. In 13 matches, the "red-whites" have scored 37 points, confidently leading the tournament table with a 10-point lead over their closest pursuer, and they still have a game in hand. In the last round, https://www.crvenazvezdafk.com/ru target=_blank rel=noopener>"Crvena Zvezda" confidently dealt with "Vojvodina" at home with a score of 3:0.
It should be noted that the team has not pleased its fans in the Champions League for a long time. Thus, in 13 previous matches, Crvena Zvezda lost 10 times, played two more draws and won only once.
Disqualifications and injuries
Olayinka will definitely not play due to injury. Glazer and Mimovich appearance on the field is questionable. The team is clearly missing the main goalkeeper Glazer.

Barcelona
SpainCurrent form
Since the beginning of the season, Barcelona has made clear its ambitions to win not only in La Liga, but also in the Champions League. In the European arena, Hansi Flick men have earned six points in three rounds. There was a misfire in the opening game away to Monaco (1:2), but the game and the result were greatly affected by Garcia sending off in the 11th minute. In the next two matches, the "blue garnets" left no chance for Young Boys (5:0) and Bayern (4:1). It is safe to say that the Catalans have passed a real test of strength. The Munich team could do nothing with Lewandowski and Rafinha. Moreover, in that meeting, Barcelona demonstrated excellent implementation - four shots on target and all were goals.
In Primera, the Catalans immediately took the lead and confidently lead the tournament table after 12 rounds, having scored 33 points. As in the Champions League, in the home tournament, Barcelona passed a real test of strength, beating Real Madrid 4-0 away. At the moment, the gap from the "creamy" is a solid nine points, although the competitor has one game in hand.
It is impossible not to note the powerful play of Barcelona in attack. In La Liga, 40 goals have already been scored. For comparison: Real Madrid has only 21 goals. Robert Lewandowski has managed to score 14 times and leads the scorers' race.

1.70Tip and bets
Since the start of the tournament, Crvena Zvezda has already suffered crushing defeats from Inter and Monaco, and the Serbian team did not have much of a chance in those matches. It is unlikely that it will be easier today, even taking into account the home field factor. Barcelona is not slowing down, the attack led by Lewandowski is in full order. The Catalans have won six matches in a row, winning all matches with an advantage of at least two goals, and have managed to deal with Bayern and Real Madrid. It is unlikely that there will be any difficulties with the Red-Whites, who are noticeably inferior in class.
Our prediction is Barcelona victory with an Asian handicap (-2) at odds of 1.77

Bet on the exact difference in the score
Barcelona have won three of their last five games by two or three goals, and there is a good chance that the final score in Belgrade will be in that range too.
