Match Preview
Serbian champion Crvena Zvezda won the title seven times in a row. It defeated Partizan by seven points the previous season. The main competitors in the new draw are already farther apart even though they have not met yet. Despite having a game in hand, Crvena is in the lead in the standings. Despite six wins in the national championship, it was unable to defeat Mladost. Meanwhile, the Serbian team just almost missed out on qualifying for the Champions League's main draw. Bodo Glimt was its opponent in the qualifying. Crvena Zvezda suffered a 1:2 loss away in Norway, but came back to win the next two encounters and even take the lead 3:2. There is no doubt that Lucic and Degenek, who have not taken the field yet this season, will not participate in the forthcoming encounter. Glazer's recovery from the injury calls into question his involvement.

Last season, Benfica came in second place in Portugal. It dropped 10 points against Sporting at the same time. The squad fails to even qualify for the European Cup zone in the new draw due to its primary opponent's superiority. Simultaneously, it triumphed in every home game, suffered a defeat when visiting Famalicao, and settled for a draw with Moreirense. The team attempted to fill the roster with affordable possibilities, such as rental players, and generated a respectable profit on transfers during the summer. Kerem Akturkoglu from Galatasaray, who was on the verge of joining Spartak, was the most costly purchase. He cost them €12.0 million. Joao Neves, in contrast, relocated to PSG for five times the money. Tiago Gouveia will not participate in the forthcoming match after missing two rounds of the Portuguese Championship due to injury. Despite their recent withdrawals, Aursnes, Beste, and Renato Sanchez are almost fully recovered.

Goaloo Prediction
Benfica is the clear favorite in the forthcoming encounter. It does not appear to be playing at its best, though, as it has not won this season and has not scored much. It will therefore not come as a surprise if Crvena Zvezda manages to tie the score, for instance, 1:1.
On its field, Crvena Zvezda has won 19 straight games without a loss. As we discovered, Benfica is not at its finest when traveling. Furthermore, it is affecting that strong players who were integral to the previous season have left. As a result, we recommend that Crvena Zvezda not lose as a critical bet.

Pick:Red Star will not lose
