Both teams have already secured a place in at least the Round of 32, and they still have a chance for the top 8 with a win. Red Star defeated Malmö 1:0 away last week, and six out of the team's seven matches in the group had under 2.5 goals. This includes the three home games, where they drew 1:1 with Celtic and then won 1:0 against FCSB and Lille.
However, Celta's matches in the group stage have been more high-scoring, with all seven of the team's matches so far having over 2.5 goals. They do not show much consistency, though. As guests, they lost 2:3 to Ludogorets, after previously winning 3:0 against Dinamo Zagreb away, and now they have another visit to the Balkans ahead.
Prediction: both teams to scoreCelta has more high-scoring matches, and I think they can score at the unfriendly stadium in Belgrade, but I also expect the hosts to do the same. Both teams to score is what I would choose for this match.
