Current streaks

Recent form

Red Star Belgrade

Red Star Belgrade have shown mixed form in their recent fixtures, with a notable contrast between their domestic and European performances. The Serbian giants have won four of their last six matches, including a run of three consecutive victories in domestic competitions. Their attacking prowess has been particularly impressive, netting 19 goals in these six games, with an average of 3.17 goals per match. However, their defensive vulnerabilities have been exposed in European encounters, conceding five goals each against Barcelona and AS Monaco in the Champions League. The team's goal-scoring ability is further highlighted by their 7-0 thrashing of Tekstilac Odžaci in the Cup and a 5-1 away victory against FK Spartak Zdrepceva KRV in the Super Liga. Despite their domestic dominance, Red Star Belgrade's European form remains a concern, with heavy defeats overshadowing their league success.

VfB Stuttgart

VfB Stuttgart have shown a mixed run of form in their recent fixtures, displaying resilience but also some inconsistency. The team have managed to secure three wins in their last six matches, including a clean sheet victory in their most recent Bundesliga outing against Vfl Bochum. However, they've also suffered two consecutive losses, one in the Bundesliga and another in the Champions League, highlighting some defensive vulnerabilities. Stuttgart's goal-scoring record remains steady, averaging 1.33 goals per game, while their defence has been relatively solid, conceding 1.17 goals per match. Interestingly, half of their recent games have seen both teams score, and there's an even split between matches going over and under 2.5 goals. The team's ability to bounce back with a win after two losses demonstrates their resilience, but consistency will be key for Stuttgart to maintain their position in the league.
