Rangers vs Red Star Belgrade – Betting Statistics:
In six group-stage matches, Red Star Belgrade conceded only four goals. They also failed to score in the recent city derby against Partizan Belgrade.
We anticipate that the visitors will park the bus and keep the game low-scoring. At 1.90 odds, the best betting option is Under 2.5 goals FT. However, we wouldn’t be surprised if Rangers came out on top after a late second-half goal, which is why we’ll take the huge 4.50 odds offered for a draw at halftime and a Rangers win in the end.
