FC Crvena Zvezda hosts Sheriff Tiraspol in the first leg of the Champions League qualification semifinals. The match will be played on Tuesday, August 3rd at Stadion Rajko Mitić (Belgrade)
In the last qualifying stage, Crvena Zvezda did a favor to Kairat by allowing the Kazakhs to win at home and leave the fans some hope for the best for another week, but nothing more. At home, the Red-Whites hammered the Almaty team with a 5-0 score. In general, Crvena Zvezda is a home team. In the last 18 matches on their pitch, they have never lost, gained 16 victories, and scored more than one goal in 13 cases.

Sheriff Tiraspol won the last four out of five matches in the Champions League qualification. It sounds cool, but you need to look at the opponents in this qualification. The Yellow-Blacks played against Teuta from Albania (5-0 on aggregate) and Armenian Alashkert (4-1 in favor of the Moldovans). And the Wasps defeated Floresti in the local championship. Sheriff beat these opponents, but it also conceded a goal from the Armenians and its compatriots. And Crvena Zvezda has a reserve that is no weaker than of these two clubs.
There are a lot of options for betting, and they are all in favor of the Serbs. You can just bet on their victory, and even a minus handicap. But the proposed option is closer to me, namely a pair of goals performed by the hosts. I mentioned above how they score on their pitch, and I will add that Kairat, which played in Serbia a week ago, is no weaker than Sheriff Tiraspol. And what did Stankovich's team do with the Kazakhs? This is what it is. Perhaps Sheriff will be able to avoid such a major defeat, but the hosts will probably send a couple of goals in its net. And they have enough players to do it. Pavkov, who scored 14 goals in 25 matches of the last championship, is ready to play. Krstovic, who had already managed to score in the last match, is also in place. Forward Dioni, who had played more than one season in Saint-Etienne, moved from French Angers. Fardu, who scored 50 goals in four seasons, also scored his debut goal this season against Subotica. So, the Moldovan tale is likely to end, and Crvena Zvezda will probably score at least twice in Belgrade.
Prediction for the match: FC Crvena Zvezda to score over 1.5 goals
