The final of the Serbian Cup and one of the last games of the season for both clubs.

Crvena zvezda won its 36th national championship trophy in a dominant manner and the goal is to crown this season with a double title. Belgrade squad are undefeated in the last 20 matches in all competitions, and they won 18 of those 20 matches. How dominant they are this season in domestic competitions is shown by the fact that at the moment they have even 16 points more than the first runner-up in the table, although at one point in the season it seemed that the biggest rival Partizan could upset their accounts. In the last match played, Zvezda easily defeated Napredak on the road with a score of 4:0. In that match, coach Milojevic also gave a chance to some young players who had less playing time this season, and they repaid him in a great way. Winter reinforcement, young Uros Sremcevic scored 2 goals, and Nikola Knezevic also scored in his first game as a starter.

Throughout its rich history, Vojvodina won this competition twice, both times in the recent past, in 2014 and 2020. In this match, in addition to the cup trophy, they will be placed in Europe for the next season. During most of the season, Vojvodina have been playing very erratically, and this was also the case in the finish. They never managed to score a few good results in a row and that is the main reason for their slightly lower ranking in the table. But all that would be quickly forgotten if they managed to create a surprise here and achieve a great victory.

Crvena Zvezda vs Vojvodina pick: UNDER 3.5 GOALS

No one can deny that Crvena Zvezda is the big favorite in this game, but Vojvodina will also have their chance to win. The cup is a specific competition, and the final is played on a neutral ground, so surprises are very possible. The return of Vladan Milojevic to the bench of the red and whites completely transformed the game of this club, so the Serbian giant once again have started to play according to capabilities of this roster. As in the first term under his leadership, Crvena zvezda played excellent defense, with a small number of goals conceded, and the game from the dead time and free kicks is again one of the team's strongest weapons. In the last 6 games, Zvezda kept 4 clean sheets. One of those matches was played against Vojvodina in the league, which ended without goals. Maybe that match is the guideline for how the team from Novi Sad should set up the game in this match in an attempt to surprise.

In this match, we will certainly not see a loose game and a lot of goal chances, so under 3.5 goals is a fairly safe choice.
