Thanks to a 2-0 win over Helsinki at Stadion Rajko Mitic in Belgrade, Crvena Zvezda moved one step closer to booking their place in the Champions League third qualifying round.

Vladan Milojevic’s troops extended their winning run in all competitions to four games and seeing that the Finnish champions had no more than one shot on target in the first leg, we predict that the Serbs are going to record yet another victory over Tor Thodesen’s troops.


Ghana international Richmond Boakye has been scoring goals for fun of late, meaning that the opposition defenders should have him at bay. Helsinki have no other choice but to go all guns blazing at Crvena Zvezda and we are positive that the visitors will have a number of opportunities to score on the break. A man to watch in the away team will be Marko Marin, who impressed in the first leg.

HIGHLIGHTED PLAYER (MILAN GAJIC):

Milan Gajic is a product of OFK Beograd youth academy. The pacey right back, who was born in Vukovar (Croatia) on January 28, 1996 scored four goals in 46 appearances for OFK Beograd from 2013 to 2015 and on July 22, 2015 he signed a five-year deal with Ligue 1 side Bordeaux.


Milan Gajic is a youth international for Serbia and he represented the Eagles at the 2017 European Championship. The Serbs failed to impress at the tournament in Poland, with the team losing to Portugal and Spain in Group B, while sharing the spoils with Macedonia. Gajic was a starter in matches against Portugal and Macedonia, but he missed the Spain clash with injury.


In 2015, though, Milan Gajic did well to win the FIFA U20 World Cup with Serbia as Veljko Paunovic’s men outplayed Brazil in the title game. His main position is right-back (full-back), but he is capable of playing both central and right midfielder. Milan Gajic made 14 appearances for Bordeaux in the 2016/2017 Ligue 1 campaign.


HIGHLIGHTED TEAM (CRVENA ZVEZDA):

Crvena Zvezda are the most famous club in Balkans. The Crveno-beli have 19 Yugoslav First League titles and have won eight domestic trophies since the breakup of Yugoslavia. Crvena Zvezda won their last league title in the 2015/2016 season, with the team finishing the campaign no less than 28 points clear of Partizan.


Speaking of Partizan, the Crno-beli are considered Crvena Zvezda’s bitterest rivals and the two teams meet in the “Eternal derby” (Veciti derbi). The capital club did well to win the European Cup title in 1991, with the team beating Olympique Marseile on penalties in the title game. That is considered the club’s biggest success, but it has to be noted that the Serbian club won the International Cup later in 1991. Crvena Zvezda outclassed Colo Colo of Chile (3-0) at National Stadium in Tokyo.


The likes of Dejan Savicevic, Vladimir Jugovic, Dragan Stojkovic, Dragoslav Sekularac, Rajko Mitic, Dusan Savic, Nemanja Vidic and Dejan Stankovic are some of the famous footballers who played for Crvena Zvezda in the past.
