Crvena Zvezda take on the visitors Trabzonspor in the round 5 match of UEFA Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, October 27th at Stadion Rajko Mitić (Belgrade).
Crvena Zvezda remains the flagship of Serbian club football and have the status of force No. 1 in national football. Suffice it to say that since 2018, "gold" has not been given to anyone, keeping everyone at a distance, including Partizan. But they also want international success. And when a misfire occurred in the summer qualification of the Champions League, in the form of a relegation from Maccabi (Haifa), they immediately parted ways with Stankovic. Already under Milojevic, little is being done in the Europa League. For 4 fights, only 1 was won, against Ferencváros. Yes, 4-1, but then Cherchesov's wards took revenge, albeit 2-1. And before that, there were defeats to Monaco and Trabzonspor. In general, there are scanty chances for 3rd place.

Trabzonspor couldn't keep up with last season's level. The Burgundy Blues are a legend in Turkish football, one of a very short list of those who won the league title without being based in Istanbul. After a very long pause, the “gold” turned out to be taken last season. Moreover, it quickly became clear that this particular team would take the 1st place. But for some reason, that incredible level could not be kept even close! Now the wards of Abdullah Avji are outside the group of leaders. And they could not beat the modest Copenhagen in the Champions League qualification. Further, in the group stage of the Europa League, there is a noticeable trend that Trabzonspor is extremely dependent on the stadium factor. At home, the team beat Crvena Zvezda and even Monaco (and 4-0). But on the road it was 2-3 with Ferencváros and 1-3 in France.
In mid-September, the parties faced each other for the first time. Then the Turks were able to win 2-1 against the opponent, which in the middle of the 2nd half was left with ten men. Of course, both Red Star Star and Trabzonspor will try to win. So let's believe that the Serbs and the Turks will be able to give out "over 2.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
