Partizan has had a solid start to the season, dropping points only in a 2-2 draw against Radnicki. With a demanding schedule and their elimination from the Conference League by Hibernian (a 3-4 aggregate score), Coach Blagojevic’s squad can now fully concentrate on their domestic league campaign. The Black and Whites have netted 24 goals so far (averaging 3.43 goals per game), a tally surpassed only by their upcoming opponent. While their defense is generally strong, Partizan has conceded at least one goal in five of their seven league matches.

Crvena Zvezda has shown dominant form since the very beginning of the Super Liga season. The reigning champions boast an impressive record of six victories with an aggregate score of 28:4. Aleksandar Katai has been a standout performer, scoring 11 goals in just 6 rounds. This individual achievement eclipses the combined goal counts of Serbia’s second and third top scorers – Kostic from Partizan (6 goals) and his teammate Ivanic (5). The Belgrade derby is historically known for its attacking flair, with the last six head-to-head matches consistently exceeding 2.5 total goals.

While Partizan will be determined to secure a positive result, Crvena Zvezda’s current form is almost flawless. Nevertheless, these teams frequently deliver high-scoring spectacles, and spectators can confidently expect at least three goals in this enthralling fixture.
