Red Star Belgrade vs Barcelona Predictions

Not even the most optimistic Barcelona fans would have imagined their team’s start to the season in LaLiga.

Hansi Flick’s team has been close to perfection in the first 12 days of the Spanish top flight. Eleven of those games ended with a victory for Barcelona, ​​whose notebook contains only a blot: the surprising 4-2 defeat against Osasuna.

Their most memorable victory, of course, was the stunning 4-0 thrashing of Real Madrid last weekend.

He Whites Their scheduled match with Valencia was postponed last time, allowing Barcelona to extend their lead at the top of the standings to seven points.

Attention now returns to the Champions League. Since Europe’s most important competition changed its name in 1992, only Real Madrid has lifted the trophy more often than Barcelona.

He blaugrana They won the last edition of the European Cup in 1992, before triumphing in the renewed tournament in 2006, 2009, 2011 and 2015.

Lately, however, they have had little to cheer about on the continent. Barcelona last reached the semi-finals in 2018/19, when they saw a 3-0 first-leg lead turn into a 4-3 aggregate defeat to Liverpool.

In the last five campaigns, Barça has been eliminated in the group stage as many times as it has reached the quarterfinals. It is a poor record for a club that has enjoyed so much success in the Champions League over the past two decades.

Barcelona’s form on home soil has fueled hopes that it is also ready to challenge on the continent.

A 2-1 defeat to Monaco on matchday one was not the ideal start to the league phase, but Barcelona followed up with consecutive home wins over Young Boys (5-0) and Bayern Munich (4-1 ).

Flick is now seeking a third successive Champions League victory but has warned his players not to be complacent as he thought they were in the second half of Sunday’s 3-1 defeat at Espanyol.

“I accept that the second half was not good, but I will not accept that on Wednesday we have to do better. The tension dropped in the second half and we made mistakes,” he said.

Betting Tips for Red Star Belgrade vs Barcelona

Barcelona are a big favorite to beat Red Star Belgrade when the two meet.

Barcelona -2.5 Asian handicap

Red Star Belgrade picked up just one point from six Champions League group stage games last time out, but will not necessarily improve that tally despite two extra games this season.

Red Star has lost all three matches to date, suffering defeats against Benfica (1-2), Inter (0-4) and Monaco (1-5). That doesn’t bode well for this meeting with Barcelona, ​​who could be the best team on the continent right now.

Flick’s comments after the game against Espanyol show that he will not tolerate a drop in his team’s level, so we can expect Barcelona to come out on top in Belgrade.

The Rajko Mitic Stadium produces a fantastic atmosphere when it gets going, but that won’t be enough to bridge the quality gap on the field between these two teams.

Barcelona can win this one by a margin of three goals or more.

Barcelona wins to zero

Real Madrid and Atlético de Madrid have conceded fewer or the same number of goals as Barcelona in La Liga, but the Catalans blow the other two out of the water at the other end of the field.

Barça has scored 40 goals in total. Surprisingly, it is one more than Madrid and Atlético combined.

They have also been very productive in the Champions League: only Borussia Dortmund has scored more goals than Barcelona’s 10.

On this occasion, we anticipate that Barça will combine its offensive power with defensive solidity.

Red Star Belgrade ranks fifth in expected goals, seventh in goals and fourth in shots on goal. Flick’s men have a clean sheet on Wednesday.

Lamine Yamal will score at any time

“The truth is that I have never seen anything like it. I have never seen a player like that. One training was enough to realize that it is different, that it is one of the phenomena.”

This was Álvaro Morata talking about the sensation of Barcelona and Spain, Lamine Yamal, in an interview with The Athletic this week.

This is high praise from a man who has played for the likes of Real Madrid, Juventus, Chelsea, Atlético Madrid and AC Milan.

At only 17 years old, it is extraordinary to think that Yamal is already one of the best forwards in European football.

The teenager is fearless and we hope he finds the back of the net against Red Star Belgrade.
