Železničar Pančevo suffered a 1-0 loss in their last game against OFK Beograd. The defeat was their third in their last four games. In that run, they lost to Vojvodina and Radnicki Nis. They sit 7th on the table with 13 points in 9 games, scoring ten goals and conceding 11.

Both teams have only met twice in their history. Red Star Belgrade won on both occasions. The first ended 2-1 in 2023, and the second 3-0 in April 2024.

Red Star Belgrade are in great form, and their defense is so organized. They have conceded just four goals this season, and I expect them to keep another clean sheet in this clash. Moreover, Železničar Pančevo's performance hasn't been commendable.
