Monaco vs Crvena zvezda Prediction & Betting Tips (22 October)

After two Champions League matches and 6 days of Ligue 1, Monaco is still undefeated in all competitions. To evoke the Champions, the Monegasques created the event by defeating FC Barcelona at Louis II 2-1 following in particular the numerical inferiority of the Blaugrana very early in the match. During J2, coming from a long way away, the 2017 French champion ensured the essential, the draw against Dinamo Zagreb 2-2. In the championship, before crossing paths with Rennes and Lille, Monaco remained on three consecutive successes against AJ Auxerre 0-3, Le Havre 3-1 and Montpellier 2-1. Opposite, very hostile at home, the Red Star Belgrade failed to live up to its reputation on the first day, falling to the Portuguese Benfica 1-2. In the process, the Serbs lost quite heavily on the pitch of Inter Milan during the 2nd day 4-0.

In conclusion, Belgrade has still not unlocked its points counter in this CL. In the championship, on the other hand, everything is going well with a series of nine days without the slightest defeat and above all eight successes in this run. Clearly, since the start of the season, no one has managed to overcome Red Star. The evening visitors will have tried to extend their unbeaten run against IMT Novi Beograd and Radnicki Nis at home last weekend to follow. 

Very seriously injured, Coulibaly and young midfielder Edan Diop will be OUT for this 3rd day of the Champions. For the rest, the heroes of this start of the season like Akliouche (scorer against Barça), captain Zakaria (scorer against Dinamo), Salisu (ditto) without forgetting the supersub Balogun (2 goals in L1, 1 in LDC) or again Ben Seghir will all be back-up for this part. At Red Star Belgrade, two notable absences also with the holder Ivanic (2 goals in 6 appearances in the league) and Lucic (absent since the start of the season) will a priori not travel on the Rock.

The former Marseille player Radonjic (little used in the rotation) will be operational for his coach while we expect more from a boy like Cherif Ndiaye (7 goals in 7 championship matches) who has still not planted in Champions League after two matches.
