Red Star Belgrade – Celta Vigo Tip Europa League, Matchday 8 on Thursday, 29/01/26 at 21:00 CET
With my Red Star Belgrade Celta Vigo tip I keep a bit vague. Because I want to be on the safe side, and the under-2.5 goal odds of about 2.05 at every betting provider with PayPal would already be sufficiently high for me in this context anyway.
But of all the possible final scores below this mark, I can be most enthusiastic about a 0-0 draw – especially since the Serbs have so far attracted attention in the Europa League in 2025/26 with result football at its best!
It is primarily a game between two equal teams that are not coincidentally only one point apart in the standings and would most likely be condemned to a play-off participation even in the event of a victory.
In short: It could be 0-0 for an astonishingly long time on Thursday in the Balkan Maracana – possibly even until the end!
Red Star Belgrade vs. Celta Vigo AI Predictions:
Our Red Star Belgrade Celta Vigo AI prediction has confronted me with an outcome bet that I fully agree with – the 0-0 at half-time at odds around 2.95.
This prediction, if it should actually come true, would truly fit like a glove! In the Serbs’ three Europa League home games so far, they have only conceded one goal anyway.
Since Celta Vigo, on the other hand, have already won four out of five competitive games in 2026, I expect a stalemate on the field, in which a lot will happen in midfield.
Predicted chance of winning:

Scoring less than 1.5 goals at odds around 3.90 is another computer-generated suggestion that I can live with.
It requires a little more courage, but since the Serbs won their last three games against Malmö, FCSB and Sturm Graz 1-0, another final result of this kind would certainly be expected somewhere.
However, I maintain that Celta Vigo’s defence is the hardest to crack of all three clubs above!
Both hit – No is therefore also an interesting variant, as the odds of 2.20 on average are disproportionately high, and a 1:1 is the only realistic final result, which in my eyes would seriously jeopardize the betting success of this bet.
