Red Star Belgrade vs FK Jedinstvo Ub Prediction: A painful start for Jedinstvo Ub

League champions Red Star Belgrade will welcome newcomers FK Jedinstvo Ub to the Stadion Rajko Mitić on Saturday in their first game of the 2024/2025 Serbia Super League season. Red Star Belgrade are the most successful team in the league, while Jedinstvo Ub are debutants. Can they shock the world with a win? Below are previews, expert betting tips, and odds.

Red Star Belgrade became the league champions last season for the 7th time in a row and would like to have a good start this season. They had a bad start to the 2023/2024 season before they could pick themselves up later. They didn’t just win the league last season; they also won the league cup, defeating Vojvodina 2-1. Their performance in the preseason friendlies was superb, winning 3 of the four games. However, Osman Bukari, Jean-Philippe Krasso, Marko Stamenic, and Aleksandar Dragovic have all left the club.

Jedinstvo Ub gained promotion to the top flight after finishing second in the Prva Liga last season. They were excellent in the previous period, the last season, winning all their last five matches. However, they were winless in the two games they played in the preseason, drawing 0-0 against Paks and losing 1-0 against Otelul. They will start their top-flight journey in a situation they would have wished to happen later.

The defending champions will have an easy run in this clash. Nothing seems to stop them, but the best option to stake in is the goal market. Red Star Belgrade are excellent in front of goals and will win this clash with many goals.
