Red Star Belgrade - Manchester City: Form Analysis
Hosts Red Star Belgrade will drop out of European competitions after this game. They can still match Young Boys’ tally in the quest for third place but the Swiss side has a better head-to-head run. Winning this game in the first place will call for a big effort for the side yet to win any in this group. In their last match in this group, Red Star Belgrade suffered a 2-0 away loss to Young Boys. That defeat confirmed they will not be finishing third in this group. Red Star are coming from three straight wins domestically. Their most recent outing ended in a 3-1 win over Mladost Lučani. In 14 matches they have suffered three losses, and all these were in the Champions League. A poor run in the Champions League leaves Red Star without a win in the last seven matches. They have conceded two or more goals in each of those seven matches. The one positive they’ll carry to this game is their scoring run. Red Star have failed to score in just one of their last nine matches. In six of their last seven Champions League matches, both teams scored. In Champions League action at home, Red Star have posted just a win in five. Both teams scored in four of the five home games in the Champions League.
Manchester City had to come from a goal down to beat Red Star Belgrade 3-1 in their first meeting. That was the first of five wins in five in this group. It thus means they’ve not only secured a place in the knockouts but have also confirmed top spot. Coming from a first win in three matches, City will be hoping to extend their winning run here. The reigning European champions will soon be heading to the Club World Cup and hope to establish a good run. In their last outing, City also had to rise from behind to beat Luton Town 2-1. That game, once again, was testament to City’s defensive woes. They haven't kept a clean sheet in six straight matches coming into this game. Their scoring form is however great. Pep Guardiola’s side has failed to score just once in 10 matches. Seven times in their last 10 matches, City scored three or more goals. In the Champions League, City haven't tasted defeat in the last 18 matches. They have straight wins in the last seven.

Red Star Belgrade & Manchester City Squad Analysis
Julian Alvarez led the charge with a brace as City came from behind to beat Red Stars Belgrade in England. He will be on hand again here, seeking to extend his scoring run in the Champions League. The Argentine has four goals in five Champions League matches. Alvarez’s form will particularly be key for City, as Erling Haaland is out injured. Haaland missed the weekend win, and is expected to be out for at least two matches. Jeremy Doku is also an injury concern for this game. Pep Guardiola isn’t expected to rush the Belgian back, especially with top spot secured and more important games ahead. Red Star haven’t reported new injuries following their weekend win. It gives them a great incentive as they seek to finish respectably. Aleksandar Katai will be pivotal for them, seeking to add to his two goals in the last two games.

Our Red Star Belgrade vs Manchester City Prediction
Manchester City will go into this game seeking momentum for the Club World Cup. They are coming from a tough run and will hope to get their machine fully running.

Red Star Belgrade vs Manchester City - Other Interesting Predictions
Over 2.5 goals
Three of Red Star Belgrade’s last five matches ended with over 2.5 goals. They come into this game on a good scoring run and meet a good scoring team as well. Our second prediction is for the game to have over 2.5 goals.
Red Star Belgrade to score first
Red Star Belgrade scored first in four of their last five matches. In this game that they will be under no pressure at all, they should be able to extend that run. Manchester City, on the other hand, conceded first in the last four matches. As we expect the European champions to field a weakened side, this trend might continue. Our third prediction is for the hosts to score first.
