Crvena Zvezda hosts Glasgow Rangers in the second leg of the Europa League 1/8 finals. The match will be played on Thursday, March 17th at Stadion Rajko Mitić (Belgrade)
Crvena Zvezda absolutely undeservedly lost in the first leg. I remind you that the final whistle of the referee recorded a 3-0 victory of the Scots. Most interestingly, the Red-Whites also scored three goals, but each of them was canceled. However, all the cancellations were quite controversial, and the Serbs certainly had a lot of questions to the referee after the match. It is very difficult to win back three goals, even though Crvena Zvezda is considered to be a historically strong home team. The statistics confirm this fact. In the previous 10 home games in the Europa League, the Red-Whites gained three victories and three draws and suffered only one defeat (they lost 0-1 to Midtjylland in the group stage of this draw).

Rangers should thank the referee for the 3-0 final score in the first game against Crvena Zvezda. The fact is that van Bronckhorst's men didn’t look better. Then the Red-Whites in terms of the game. Be that as it may, the match took place, and now the Light Blues can even afford to lose with a two-goal difference. In the current draw of the UEL (at different stages), Rangers have already played four away matches. They ended with the following results: two victories, two draws, and only one defeat. Three of them were not rich in goals, and at least one side didn’t score.
The upcoming match meeting between Crvena Zvezda and Rangers will be the 9th in the history of head-to-head confrontations between these teams. The Serbian club won four times, and the Teddy Bears gained two victories. Now I would like to see revenge in the performance of the Red-Whites. They did not deserve a romp in the first match, but the referee had his own plans on that point. Perhaps the native stands will help them. Let me remind you once again that Crvena Zvezda has historically performed well at home in European competitions. Rangers do not need to attack with all their might. It will be enough for them to play reliably in defense and not lose by more than two goals. And I think the hosts will be much closer to victory.
Prediction for the match: Crvena Zvezda to win with 0.0 handicap
