Red Star Belgrade face Lille in a high-profile European matchup on Thursday, pitting the reigning Serbian champions against one of France's most competitive sides. Both teams enjoyed strong domestic campaigns last season and enter this clash with plenty of attacking quality and recent European experience.
Red Star had a superb year in Serbia, clinching the SuperLiga title with seven games to spare after a 3–1 victory over OFK Beograd on April 6. Their dominance extended into the Serbian Cup, where they completed the domestic double, underlining their status as the country's most consistent club. Across all competitions, Red Star demonstrated impressive stability, losing very few matches and frequently outscoring opponents by wide margins. They also gained valuable experience in the UEFA Champions League group stage, testing themselves against elite European opposition.
Lille, meanwhile, come into the fixture as one of the most consistent performers in Ligue 1. The French side finished fifth last season, narrowly missing out on an automatic Champions League berth but securing a spot in European competition. They advanced to the Champions League Round of 16, proving they can compete against high-level European sides. Jonathan David led the attack with 16 goals in the French top flight and 25 in all competitions. His pace, movement, and finishing ability remain vital to Lille's offense.

Our Red Star Belgrade vs Lille Prediction
Red Star's current momentum makes them formidable at Rajko Mitić Stadium. The Belgrade venue has long been one of the most intimidating in European football, and Red Star's home record over the past year has been nearly flawless. The combination of passionate support and attacking confidence creates an environment that often unsettles visiting teams. Lille's technical skill and experience in France's top tier will serve them well, but playing away in Serbia presents both a physical and psychological challenge.
Red Star's main offensive threat last season was Cherif Ndiaye, who led the club with 19 league goals and 22 in all competitions. His clinical finishing and intelligent positioning made him the focal point of Red Star's attack. Supporting him were wingers Aleksandar Pešić and Bryan Alegria, both of whom provided key assists and timely goals to complement Ndiaye's scoring prowess.
The tactical battle is likely to hinge on whether Lille can withstand Red Star's early pressure and contain Ndiaye's movement in the box. If Lille's defense holds firm and David can exploit space on the counter, they stand a chance of snatching a result. Yet Red Star's relentless form, depth in attack, and dominance at home may ultimately prove decisive. Our prediction for Red Star vs. Lille: Lille to lead each half.
