Match Time & Date:

21:00
Prediction: 2-2
PSV
Expect an electrifying atmosphere at Stadion Rajko Mitic when Crvena Zvezda and PSV go head to head in an eagerly-awaited Champions League game on Tuesday evening. Vladan Milojevic have been impressive in recent warm-up games and they must be high on confidence ahead of the visit of PSV. As Crvena Zvezda were more than unfortunate not to hold Milan to a draw at Stadio San Siro, we predict that they are going to grab something from the round 7 clash. Important midfielder Mirko Ivanic is back for the hosts.
PSV, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form in the Eredivisie. As Peter Bosz’s troops experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 3-1 loss to Zwolle at the weekend, away win should not be considered. Anyhow, there is a big value in betting on both teams to score as both Crvena Zvezda and PSV will go for a win in Tuesday’s clash. Both Matteo Dams and Malik Tillman are banned for the visiting side.
Highlighted Player (Luuk de Jong):
The 26-year-old Dutch striker Luuk de Jong is considered one of Europe’s deadliest strikers with his incredible return of goals in games he spends playing. Luuk de Jong began his football career at De Graafschap in 2008, but moved on to Twente only a year later.
The tally of 39 goals in 76 league appearances earned him a transfer to Borussia Monchengladbach, but his spell in Germany ended in disappointment. Bundesliga club attempted to revive his career by sending him out on loan to Newcastle United but his stint with the English club yielded even more disappointment and concluded in utter disaster with De Jong playing 12 games without scoring a single goal for the Magpies.
A return to Netherlands and PSV Eindhoven turned out to be a proper hit for the 26-year-old striker who has restored his scoring touch with more than 50 goals for the Boeren after less than 90 games.
Highlighted Team (Crvena Zvezda):
Crvena Zvezda are the most famous club in Balkans. The Crveno-beli have 19 Yugoslav First League titles and have won eight domestic trophies since the breakup of Yugoslavia. Crvena Zvezda won their last league title in the 2015/2016 season, with the team finishing the campaign no less than 28 points clear of Partizan.
Speaking of Partizan, the Crno-beli are considered Crvena Zvezda’s bitterest rivals and the two teams meet in the “Eternal derby” (Veciti derbi). The capital club did well to win the European Cup title in 1991, with the team beating Olympique Marseile on penalties in the title game. That is considered the club’s biggest success, but it has to be noted that the Serbian club won the International Cup later in 1991. Crvena Zvezda outclassed Colo Colo of Chile (3-0) at National Stadium in Tokyo.
The likes of Dejan Savicevic, Vladimir Jugovic, Dragan Stojkovic, Dragoslav Sekularac, Rajko Mitic, Dusan Savic, Nemanja Vidic and Dejan Stankovic are some of the famous footballers who played for Crvena Zvezda in the past.
