Red Star Belgrade preview: Dominating in Serbia
Red Star Belgrade solidified their position at the top of the Serbian Super Liga table with a 2-1 home win against Zelezznicar Pancevo on Friday.
Tuesday's guests sit three points clear of OFK Beograd and have a game in hand.

Player to watch: Lautaro Martínez
Lautaro Martinez is up and running for the season following his two goals against Udinese at the weekend and we're backing the Argentine to score again on Tuesday night.
Martinez top scored for Inter Milan last season with an impressive 27 goals in all competitions, 24 of which arrived in Serie A which is a personal best in his last six seasons with the club.
Opened his account for the season at the weekend
We're excited to see how Martinez performs from the start against Red Star Belgrade after only coming on as a substitute against Manchester City last week.
