For the second time in a row, the Serbian champion managed to reach the final stage of the Champions League. Unlike last season when they entered the group stage directly, for the new league format they had to overcome the Norwegian champion Bodoe Glimt. After the defeat on the road, Crvena Zvezda completely dominated on the home field and achieved a sufficient victory 2-0. According to the rating, this is the second team from the back of all 36 teams, so there are no great ambitions, but it is certain that they will be a dangerous rival for everyone on the home field.
As the second-placed club in the Portuguese championship, Benfica went directly to the group stage of the Champions League. This has always been a club that made a lot of money from selling players. At the beginning of this season, they brought in players for around 50 million and sold the players who were under contract for around 150 million EUR. 100 million was taken for Neves and Leonardo. Since the beginning of the season, they have achieved 3 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss in the Portuguese League
Crvena Zvezda vs Benfica pick: OVER 2.5 GOALS
On the wings of passionate fans and the specificity of the match due to the premiere, the Serbian team could surprise the Portuguese club. Both teams have a great tradition as former European champions. Benfica certainly has players who are technically better and will have the initiative, but what we saw from Crvena Zvezda in the matches against Bodo shows that they can be competitive, at least at the Rajko Mitic stadium. If we see a quick opening goal, this could be a very effective match, so over 2.5 goals is an excellent solution for betting.
