Crvena Zvezda vs Mladost Lucani (Asian Handicap) prediction

It seems Crvena Zvezda do not compete fully seriously in this tournament - in the past five seasons they became champions of the country trice but never really achieved anything for the cup in that period and the obvious reason is they just do not care about it. This season they claim they are fully serious about winning the tournament but I am not convinced and this is why I will play against the obviously best team in the country. At the quarter-finals Crvena Zvezda could hardly defeat at home turf even Radnik Surdulica who are a proud member of the relegation round in the local league. If the hosts do not field their best eleven in this game they will probably not win in classic manner and the main reason is Mladost Lucani are a good team that plays in the championship round and last season Mladost lost the final of this tournament to Partizan by a single goal difference. This guest is tough and will surely score against a semi-interested favourite. Mladost Lucani lost by three goals difference only one visit this season in the local league. There is a very good chance the guests will not get disemboweled before the second leg thankfully to the semi serious performances of Crvena Zvezda for the cup. Crvena Zvezda visit the fourth best team in the country in four days and played a match only three days ago - in such conditions it is not easy to win 3:0 all the time. The hosts will surely score at least two goals but my pick can take it.
