Crvena zvezda vs PSV Prediction & Betting Tips (21 January)

The only scenario to reach the play-offs for Belgrade is to win the last two matches and hope for missteps from the main candidates for the last qualifying place for the play-offs, in this case PSG, Man City, Real Madrid or again Dinamo Zagreb and Stuttgart, no less. At home, the locals have already lost twice in the Champions League, against FC Barcelona 2-5, and against Benfica 1-2. Furthermore, these are the only two missteps in all competitions at home for the leader of the Czech championship, who has won all of his home matches at the national level. The championship is currently on standby and will resume on February 1st. In order to keep in shape, Red Star will have played friendlies against the Slovenians from Mura, winning 4-2, the Poles from Pogon Szczecin to follow, and the Bulgarians from Levski to follow.

 For its part, PSV is currently in the right direction by being in the first 24, 23rd but also has no choice but to win its last two matches to ensure its place in the play-off. We recall that the Dutch brought back 1 point from the Parc des Princes against PSG in November 1-1 and above all lost against Brest at Roudourou during the previous day 1-0. 3 matches will have been on the program at the start of 2025 including a 1/8 final of the Dutch Cup against Excelsior to follow.

Very seriously injured, Olayinka will not play this evening, nor will the young 17-year-old defender Avdiv, also injured. On the other hand, the four main architects of the club's domination in the championship will be additional, in this case Cherif Ndiaye (13 goals, 2 assists), Ilic (10 goals, 5 assists), Bruno Duarte (9 goals, 3 assists), and Katai (8 goals, 3 assists). Absent from the trip to Roudourou to challenge Brest, the important Fode Fofana and Dest (ex-Barcelona) are still on the sidelines (injured) and could stay on their sofa this evening.

Peter Bosz will therefore be able to count on his strong men for this part, in this case the Belgian international Bakayoko (5 goals in the league), the Dutch international Til (6 goals, 5 assists), the Mexican winger Lozano (4 goals, 2 goals in 9 appearances in the elite), without forgetting the crack Noa Lang, and the scorer and captain Luuk de Jong (7 goals, 4 offerings in the championship), still without a pawn scored in C1.
