Radnik Surdulica vs Red Star Belgrade Prediction: Can Radnik do the impossible?

League leaders Red Star Belgrade will travel to the EFBET Stadion to face bottom side Radnik Surdulica. Both sides have contrasting fortunes, and nobody expects Radnik Surdulica to win this clash. Can they shock the football world? Below are previews, head-to-head statistics, expert betting tips, and odds.

LLLLL

Radnik Surdulica have been the worst team in the league this season, with just 2 wins in the 28 games played so far. They have lost 18 matches and recorded 8 draws, accumulating only 14 points, scoring 17 goals, and conceding 39. Their hope of retaining their spot in the top tier of football is diminishing day by day, and it already seems unlikely that they can retain this spot next season. They are currently on a 5-game losing streak, and with this record, they have nothing to offer against Red Star Belgrade.

DWWWW

Red Star Belgrade are perhaps the best team in the league this season. Despite starting the season in a very disappointing manner, they have since gotten back on track and are on a 15-game unbeaten run, winning 14 of those games and drawing against Partizan. They have also scored in each of their last 21 games. They currently sit at the top of the table with 71 points in 28 games, scoring 72 goals and conceding 22.

Both sides have met 12 times from 2019 to date. Radnik Surdulica have won once, and Red Star Belgrade have won 10 times, with 1 match ending in a draw. The last game between them ended 3-1 in favor of Red Star Belgrade.

Bookmakers consider Red Star Belgrade as a 95.2% probability winner of this clash, with 1xbet offering odds of 1.05 for the defending champions. Betting on such low odds isn't very appealing, so I will be opting for the handicap option in this match. Red Star are in red-hot form and no doubt they will cover the handicap. Additionally, I expect the first half to see at least 2 goals, with the full-time score expected to have at least 4 goals.
