Crvena zvezda vs Celta Vigo Prediction & Betting Tips (29 January)

11th in the ranking, Red Star Belgrade was able, as is often the case, to use its impregnable fortress to glean as many points as possible. FCSB won 1-0, Lille won 1-0 and Celtic 1-1, failed to defeat Belgrade. Of the local team's 13 points in total, 7 were scored at home. Last week, on the road against Malmö, RS did the job by winning by a narrow goal 0-1. Same score at Sturm Graz, 0-1 victory. In the event of a victory this evening, the local team would be on 16 points and very likely qualified for the round of 16. To find out if Roma, Ferencvaros, Bétis or Porto and Genk make missteps. With the championship still on standby, no match last weekend for the Serbian team.

 Celta Vigo is not in a strong position for a possible qualification in the 1/8th finals but can believe in it, provided they win this match. Last week, for the reception of the Dogues de Lille, reduced to ten, Vigo managed to find a way to win the game 2-1. With 12 points, the Galicians have won 4 matches for a record of 3 defeats. Victories gleaned against LOSC therefore, on the lawn of Dinamo Zagreb 0-3, for the reception of Nice 2-1 and PAOK Salonika 3-1. The losses took place in Stuttgart 2-1, in Bulgaria against Ludogorets 3-2 and against Bologna at home 1-2. Last weekend, as part of the 21st day of La Liga, the Celticos lost in the Basque Country against Real Sociedad 3-1. For information, Sociedad played ten against eleven for more than half-time and a half. 

Within this Red Star squad, only Uros Sremcevic (19) should be missing due to his non-qualification for the competition, he who has just returned from a counterproductive loan with Mladost. Author of 15 goals in 16 league matches played, Katai (the bubble in C3) will be present as will the Austrian Arnautovic (2 goals, 1 assist in the Europa League) without forgetting to mention the Bosnian international midfielder Rade Krunic and the scorer last week against Malmö, V.Kostov (17 years old, 5 goals, 5 assists in the league), author of his 2nd goal in C3 this season. Against Lille, mid-rotation Sotelo was excluded and will logically serve his suspension this evening. The same goes for the excellent Willot Swedberg, scorer against LOSC, suspended for accumulation of yellow cards. In this little game, Ilaix Moriba (middle) will be back from suspension while Aidoo and Cervi are not qualified.

Carlos Dominguez is injured. Winning MLS with Inter Miami, Tadeo Allende (26) reached an agreement to leave permanently for Florida. Ditto for Luca de la Torre, permanently transferred to Charlotte FC. Author of 3 goals in C3, Pablo Duran will be on the trip as will attackers Iago Aspas, Borja Iglesias (8 goals, 2 assists in La Liga) and winger Bryan Zaragoza. Discomfort is growing with Jutgla, recruited last summer from Club Bruges.
