So they have taken the lead in the Premier League, showing a confident game. The club intends to defend their treble in the current campaign.
Red Star Belgrade
The reigning Serbian champion has played seven matches in the 2023-24 campaign. In these meetings, the club left the field twice as losers. Both of their defeats came away from home - at the hands of Vojdovac (2:3) and Čukaricka (1:2). In the other five matches, the team gave their opponents no chance, gaining three points. After seven games, Red Star Belgrade is third in the Serbian league standings.
Expert Betting Tips
Red Star Belgrade will have a tough trip to England. Let's highlight a curious statistic: Manchester City has scored 17 unanswered goals at home in the Champions League. There is a high chance that Pep Guardiola's team will play another shutout, take three points, and start their title defense with a confident performance. As a main bet, we choose the option with warnings for the visitors. The Serbian players often break the rules, which sometimes leads to many cards.
