FK Crvena Zvezda vs Hapoel Beer Sheva: Crvena Zvezda to win
Crvena Zvezda's 5.0 xG versus Hapoel's 1.0 signals a dominant home display, while the model rates a win probability of 86.6 %. The stats leave little doubt about the likely outcome.
Both sides arrive on contrasting form – Crvena Zvezda have collected two wins and a loss in their last five league outings, while Hapoel Beer Sheva have rebounded from a defeat to notch two consecutive victories. The recent head‑to‑head is still fresh, with Hapoel having edged a 1‑0 win last week, but that result sits against a broader statistical picture that heavily favours the Serbian giants.
Robbo's Verdict
The model gives Crvena Zvezda an 86.6 % chance of victory, driven by a three‑to‑one xG advantage and a flawless home defensive record.

With FK Crvena Zvezda averaging 5.0 expected goals and Hapoel Beer Sheva averaging 1.0, the model gives a 58.5% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 41.5% it gives to at least one side being kept out.

FK Crvena Zvezda
Crvena Zvezda's recent league run of WWL includes a 4‑0 away win over Larne and a 5‑0 home win against the same opponents, showing they can dominate both on the road and at home. Their lone loss, 0‑1 away to Hapoel Beer Sheva, was a narrow setback, indicating that even in defeat they remain defensively tight – a pattern that supports a home win in this fixture.
Hapoel Beer Sheva
Hapoel Beer Sheva's last five league games ended LWW, highlighted by a 2‑0 home win over Vikingur Reykjavik and a 1‑0 home victory over Crvena Zvezda. The preceding 1‑2 away loss to Vikingur shows they can concede on the road, and the narrow margins of their wins suggest limited firepower, reinforcing the expectation of a loss here.
Head-to-Head
The most recent head‑to‑head saw Hapoel beat Crvena Zvezda 1‑0 on 4 Aug, but that single result sits against Crvena Zvezda's superior xG and home record, indicating the prior result is likely an outlier rather than a trend.
