Red Star Belgrade The Balkan side has yet to secure a single point, along with five other clubs. Additionally, the Serbs, together with Slovan, have conceded the most goals in the Champions League group stage – 11. At home, the team lost to Benfica 1-2, and on the road, they suffered heavy defeats to Inter (0-4) and Monaco (1-5). Red Star Belgrade has not been impressive in this tournament, losing 10 out of 13 previous matches (1 win and 2 draws). Defender Aden Avdic is out of play due to injury. At least three goals have been scored in 11 out of 13 previous Red Star Belgrade's Champions League games. Both teams have scored in 10 out of the last 13 Red Star Belgrade's matches in this tournament. The club has conceded first in 8 out of the previous 9 matches in this European competition. Barcelona The Catalans had an unsuccessful start to the group stage, losing away to Monaco (1-2). However, in the following two matches at home, Hansi Flick's men claimed two significant victories. First, the team thrashed Young Boys (5-0), then unexpectedly and confidently defeated Bayern Munich (4-1). The Catalans are currently only in 10th place. Notably, the Spaniards have a high goal conversion rate, ranking second in goals scored (10) after three rounds, trailing only Borussia Dortmund (12 goals). Defenders Ronald Araujo and Eric Garcia, midfielder Marc Bernal, forward Ferran Torres, and goalkeeper Marc-André ter Stegen will miss the match due to injuries. Three or more goals have been scored in Barcelona's last six Champions League matches. Both teams have scored in 8 out of the last 9 Barcelona's games in this tournament. The club has not won in the second half in their last 10 away matches in this European competition (6 draws and 4 losses). Red Star Belgrade vs Barcelona: match prediction Extremely low odds are being offered for the visitors' victory. This is unsurprising, given the form of the Spaniards. The Catalans are comfortably leading La Liga, scoring plenty, and in late October, they delighted football fans with big wins over top European clubs – Bayern Munich (4-1) and Real Madrid (4-0), with the latter being defeated at Santiago Bernabeu. I believe that the Catalans will secure an easy victory in this encounter. It's likely to be a substantial win, with the Spaniards scoring at least three goals. Barcelona has scored that number of goals in their last five matches in La Liga and the Champions League. Meanwhile, the Serbs conceded a total of nine goals in the past two rounds against Inter and Monaco. In the previous two seasons of this tournament, the Balkan side even conceded two goals against modest opponents like Young Boys and Bodo/Glimt. My prediction is "Barcelona to Score Over 2.5 Goals" with odds of 1.69(ru); 1.69(kk); 1.69(by); 1.69(tj). Author: Oleksandr Oleksenko
