Jedinstvo Ub vs Red Star Belgrade Prediction: Can the hosts perform magic?

It is going to be a clash of sides with contrasting fortunes in the league when struggling Jedinstvo Ub, hoping to perform magic, host league leaders Red Star Belgrade at the Stadion Dragan Dzajić on Wednesday. The visitors are undefeated this season, while the hosts are still looking for their second win. This match promises to be an interesting one, and all things point to seeing the game with the highest number of goals this season. Let’s check the team news, some interesting facts, expert betting tips, and odds below.

LLLLL

Jedinstvo Ub continue working their way back to relegation as each game week passes. They suffered a heavy 6-0 loss to Zeleznicar Pancevo in their last game to extend their losing run to seven games. Their home record isn’t remarkable either, losing their previous three and remaining winless in their last four. Their form places them bottom of the table with 5 points in 18 games, scoring 11 goals and conceding 43. They have the worst offensive and defensive record, and this game looks like the visitors have already won it.

It is good to note that none of their players have managed to score more than two goals, with 20-year-old defender Dimitrije Acimovic and 20-year-old Ghanian forward being the leading scorers for the team with two goals each. However, the latter has missed out on selection in the last five games, and nothing really changed for the Ub-based team.

Pressure continues to mount on Miloš Obradović to deliver something great on his third spell with this team. The coach has found himself in a selection dilemma in the previous games, trying different patterns to bring his team back to life.

Red Star Belgrade are in a league of their own, remaining unbeaten this season with an almost perfect winning record. They defeated Novi Pazar 7-1 in their last game, in a match that saw seven different scorers for the league leaders. They have won 17 and drawn one of their 18 games so far, and it appears they are running away with the league again. They sit top of the league with 52 points in 18 games, scoring 62 goals and conceding 10. They have 14 points more than second-placed Partizan despite playing one game less. No doubt, they have lots of motivations going forward.

Milojevic Vladan has really done a great job with the team, with the 29-year-old Nigerian forward sidelined since October. His absence hasn’t been felt so far, with the likes of 18-year-old Lazar Jovanovic stepping up to fill the gap. The Serbian player scored a goal within 15 minutes of action in their last game and will possibly have a taste of action again.

• Red Star Belgrade are the only unbeaten side in the league this season (18W, 1D).
• Red Star Belgrade have scored the most goals (62) and conceded the the least (10) this season.
• 12 of 18 games (67%) played by Red Star Belgrade this season saw at least four goals scored.
• While Red Star Belgrade scored 3.44 goals per game, Jedinstvo Ub conceded 2.39 goals per game.
• The only game between the two sides ended in a 4-0 win for Red Star Belgrade.
• Red Star Belgrade scored five or more goals in three of their last five away games.

This clash appears to have been won even before the kickoff. It is a match between the best team in the league and the worst team. While the odds for Red Star Belgrade to win this clash are small, I will bend to a more profiting option in my picks. Scoring goals has been an easy task for the league leaders, the same way as conceding goals has been part of the hosts. Based on the look of things, this game might record the highest number of goals this season.

• Red Star Belgrade to score 4+ goals (Odds: 1.97) — The league leaders score for fun and scored the highest number of goals this season and 13 in their last two outings.
• Both teams to score – No (Odds: 1.68) — While the league leaders are good in front of goal, Jedinstvo Ub do not have a reliable striker to get them goals. They have scored just 11 goals this season, anf it will be impossible for them to score against the best defense in the league.
• Second Half: Over 2.5 goals in the match (Odds: 21.10) — While I expect both halves to see many goals, I still believe the second half will see more goals to win this bet. The last two games of Red Star Belgrade saw at least three goals in the second period.

These bets have been carefully selected based on the form of both teams and with the look of things, I believe these games will boom. Sit tight and enjoy the game.
