Who will win this inaugural clash? Below are previews, head-to-head statistics, expert betting tips, and odds.

Tekstilac Odžaci started the season with a 3-1 loss to Vojvodina before losing 1-0 to OFK Beograd in their last game. They had the most possession (52%) against their fellow newcomers, had 14 more shots and seven more shots on goal in the game, but still conceded with the only shot on goal played by OFK Beograd in the game. The Blue-Whites have now lost their last four games. They sit 15th on the table with zero points in two games, scoring one and conceding 1.

Red Star Belgrade started the season with a 4-0 win over Jedinstvo U. before fighting back to get a 2-2 draw in their last game against Mladost. Red Star Belgrade were 2-0 down up to the 84th minute of the game before second-half substitute Bruno Duarte pulled one back in the 85th minute, and Cherif Ndiaye equalised in the 90+1st minute. The defending champions controlled the game with 77% possession of the ball, 34 attempts, and 11 were on target. They remain unbeaten in 32 of their last 33 games in all competitions and sit 3rd on the table with 4 points in 2 games, scoring six and conceding 2. Both Cherif Ndiaye and Bruno Duarte will be the players to watch in this clash. The two players have scored in each game played this season.

Red Star Belgrade hope to avoid the sluggish start of their last game and get something out of this game. Tekstilac Odžaci have not been in great form so far, and their defeat looks certain. With their offence not that superb so far, it will be difficult for them to break Red Star Belgrade’s strong defence.
