Crvena zvezda Team News

Crvena zvezda has returned to the highest-quality European competition, the Champions League, after three seasons of playing in the Europa League. They will face RB Leipzig and Manchester City alongside Young Boys as their opponents. The team from Belgrade had a challenging task right from the start as they visited the current English and European champions, Manchester City, in the first round. Despite the home team’s dominant performance, Zvezda left a good impression. Goalkeeper Blazer stood out with phenomenal saves, while Osman Bukari even gave Crvena zvezda the lead in the last minute of the first half. However, being a significantly more quality opponent, City quickly turned the game around in the second half and won 3:1.

Interestingly, Crvena zvezda has only played one match since then, against Radnicki from Nis, which they won 1:0. The match against TSC was postponed due to the Champions League game, while the game against Partizan was postponed due to the Day of Mourning in Serbia.

Zvezda has had enough time to rest and prepare for the most crucial match in the group stage, considering that these two clubs are likely to battle for third place in the table, which grants access to the round of 16 in the Europa League.

Young Boys Team News

Young Boys managed to qualify for the group stage of the Champions League again after a year-long break. They began their journey in the playoffs, facing last year’s participant, Maccabi Haifa. After a draw in Israel, Young Boys secured a routine 3:0 victory in the return leg, earning their place among Europe’s elite clubs. Although fans expected more from their first home game against Leipzig, the visitors secured a convincing 3:1 victory, making it likely that the team from Switzerland will compete for third place in the group.

After eight matches in the national championship, Young Boys currently sits in second place in the table with 17 points, two points behind Zurich, who is in first place but has played one more match. In their last four games, they recorded three wins (against Servette, Lugano, and Grasshoppers) with just one loss to St Gallen. There’s no doubt that they approach the match against Zvezda in good spirits.
