Sturm Graz vs Crvena zvezda Prediction & Betting Tips (11 December)

Sturm Graz's chances of qualifying for the rest of the competition are quite small. Because with 4 points gleaned during the first 5 days, the Austrian club is only in 28th position in this phase of the league with a delay of 2 points on the top 24 and a fairly complicated schedule for the next matches. Beaten from the start by Midtjylland 2-0, Jürgen Saumel's men then reacted well by winning against Rangers 2-1. But they then lost 2 of their next 3 matches against Celtic 2-1, Nottingham Forest 0-0 and Panathinaikos 2-1, thus finding themselves bottom of the table. In the Austrian Bundesliga, the Blackies are following in the wake of RB Salzburg in the fight for 1st place. They will host Tirol and GAK 1902 before this meeting.

 Opposite, Red Star Belgrade alternates between good and bad in this Europa League where it occupies 22nd place in the ranking after the first 5 days. Hooked by Celtic 1-1 on the first day, the Serbs were then beaten by Porto 2-1 and by Braga 2-0 before restarting the machine against Lille 1-0 and against FCSB 1-0 to place themselves among the top 24 in the ranking. At the same time, in the championship, the partners of former Marseillais Nemanja Radonjic are fighting with their neighbor and rival Partizan for 1st place in the ranking. They will still face Cukaricki and Vojvodina before this European deadline.

On the Austrian side, the young talent Belmin Beganovic (1 goal in the league) who is injured as well as Borkovic who is not qualified to participate in the Europa League will still be missing. On top of that, starting defender Lavalee was seriously injured in early December and will not play again this season. On the other hand, the Slovenian international Tomi Horvat (2 goals, 1 assist in C3) as well as the Georgian international Otar Kiteishvili (8 goals, 2 assists in the league) will be operational. It will be the same for Croatian international hopeful Leon Grgic (3 goals, 1 assist in the league) and for the interesting striker Jatta (3 goals in the league).

Opposite, Red Star will have no other choice than to deal without Shavy Babicka (ex-Toulouse), Keimer Sandoval and without the important striker Lucic (2 goals in 6 games) who are currently on the floor. Radonjic (ex-OM, 2 achievements in the championship) is the subject of an internal suspension. Absent during the last day, the former Milanese Krunic (2 goals in the league) is there while Marko Arnautovic (ex-Inter, 2 goals, 5 assists in championship, 2 goals in C3) is hoped for. On the other hand, the excellent Bruno Duarte (2 goals, 5 assists in championship), Angolan international Milson (1 goals, 4 assists decisive goals in the championship) and the two Katai fireworks (top scorer of the championship with 14 goals) and Ivanic (11 goals, 2 assists) should all be operational
