Tuesday night's Champions League action brings a pivotal showdown as Crvena Zvezda hosts RB Leipzig.
With Crvena Zvezda sitting at the bottom of Group G, the Serbian side is eager to turn around their fortunes after only managing a single draw in the tournament so far.
RB Leipzig finds itself in a more comfortable second place, looking to cement their position after a strong start with two wins, despite a slip against Manchester City.
Their previous meeting in Germany was a thrilling spectacle, concluding with a 3-1 victory for Leipzig.
The game was marked by an impressive display of attacking football, with Leipzig's David Raum and Xavi Simons linking up effectively, and Dani Olmo putting the seal on their win.
Despite Crvena Zvezda's efforts, which saw Marko Stamenic find the net, Leipzig's control of the game was evident in their possession and the sheer number of shots taken.
Since that high-octane encounter, both teams have experienced mixed fortunes in their domestic campaigns. Crvena Zvezda managed two wins and a draw, while Leipzig has stumbled slightly, recording one win and two losses.
For Crvena Zvezda, the stakes couldn't be higher. A defeat on their home turf could all but extinguish their hopes of advancing to the knockout stages.
Leipzig's ambition is equally clear; a victory in Serbia would not only bring them to nine points but also a significant step closer to the round of 16, easing the pressure on their final two group matches.
Historically, both teams have been involved in goal-laden games in the Champions League, with Crvena Zvezda's last five and Leipzig's last four matches each featuring over 2.5 goals. This trend suggests another explosive match could be on the cards.
As Marco Rose's Leipzig side gears up for what promises to be a formidable away fixture, they'll be aiming for a crucial win to maintain their pursuit of the next round.
Crvena Zvezda, fueled by the passion of their supporters and the high stakes, will be fighting to keep their European dreams alive.
As the whistle blows and the game gets underway, all eyes will be on these two teams as they vie for victory in one of Europe's most passionate footballing arenas.
The prediction points towards an away win for RB Leipzig in a match that's expected to be rich in goals, with both teams likely to score.
