Crvena Zvezda vs Lille Prediction and Betting Tips 26 February 2026

Crvena Zvezda will look to claim a major scalp in the Europa League playoffs when they face Lille at packed Stadion Rajko Mitic. As Crvena Zvezda were a much better side in the first leg, we predict that they will book their spot in the last 16 by playing out a 1-1 draw with les Dogues. New boss Dejan Stankovic is doing a great job with the Serbian champions, who are brimming with confidence following a 3-0 win over Partizan in the “Eternal derby”. As Zvezda have been conceding only 0.25 goals per home game of late, a low-scoring affair is on the cards.

Lille, on the other hand, failed to create a descent goal-scoring opportunity in a 1-0 loss to Zvezda in the first leg. However, Sunday’s Ligue 1 win (1-0) over Angers surely gave them a confidence boost ahead of the trip to Belgrade. Lille have been scoring only 0.40 goals per away game of late, which goes in favour of our betting angle. Igamane’s absence is probably the main reason for their offensive struggles.

As Zvezda rarely conceded at home and Lille struggle up front without Igamane, we are tempted to bet on Under 2.5 goals, with additional value on Half-Time Draw and Draw (small stake).

This Europa League match will be played on Thursday 26 February 2026 at 17:45.
