IMT Novi Beograd enter this upcoming match in a challenging period, having managed just one victory in their last seven games. Their recent form is cause for concern, as they haven't secured a win in their last three matches, with their most recent result being a 3-1 defeat against Zeleznicar Pancevo. One major issue they face is an ineffective attack, having only recorded three shots on target in their last two games, which is a significant concern for a team looking to break through the defense of Red Star Belgrade.

In the league standings, IMT Novi Beograd currently occupy the 11th position with 11 points from 11 games played. They've managed to score 16 goals but have conceded 18, which is the third-highest in the league in terms of goals conceded.

For IMT Novi Beograd to improve their situation, Milos Lukovic will be a key figure. He has experienced a recent dip in his scoring form, having only found the back of the net once in his most recent matches for both his club and the national team. Despite this, he has a total of 5 goals and 1 assist to his name for the current season, and the team will rely on him to regain his scoring prowess to help them secure positive results in upcoming matches.

Red Star Belgrade recently suffered a 3-1 defeat to RB Leipzig, with Marko Stamenic managing to score a consolation goal for his team in the 70th minute of the match. However, before this loss, Red Star Belgrade was on an impressive unbeaten streak, having gone without a defeat in their last five games. Their most recent league victory was a hard-fought 3-2 win against Javor.

Despite some struggles in away games, as they've lost 4 of their last 6 matches on the road in various competitions, Red Star Belgrade's strong history and overall performance make them a formidable contender. They currently hold the second position in the league table, having amassed 24 points from 10 games. In these matches, they've showcased their offensive capabilities by scoring 28 goals, while also maintaining a solid defense by conceding only 9 goals. These statistics reflect their potential to perform well in the upcoming match.

The history between these two teams is relatively short, with only two previous encounters on record. Red Star Belgrade emerged victorious in both of these matches, securing a 2-0 win in 2020 and a 3-0 victory in 2021.

Red Star Belgrade are a formidable side and are well-positioned to get the win here, and I expect them to win in the first half of the game, scoring multiple times.
