Crvena Zvezda is a frequent visitor in European competitions, as the team has extremely weak competition in Serbia. In recent years, the team's results on the international stage have noticeably deteriorated - last season Red Star earned only 1 point in the group stage of the UEFA Champions League, playing at home against Young Boys.
Benfica have recently started not only to play regularly in European competitions, but also to qualify for the play-offs, including the UEFA Champions League. The new UEFA Champions League format makes the nominal favourites in such matches play more risky, as there will be no return game, and they need to take 3 points today.
Prediction: Benfica to win. We recommend the “2 Win” bet, odds 1.99
