Crvena Zvezda Backed to Win on Neutral Ground
Crvena Zvezda’s superior attacking form and the neutral venue make the Serbian champions the value selection to secure a first-leg victory.
Match: Crvena Zvezda vs Hapoel Beer Sheva
League / Competition: Other
Our Pick: Crvena Zvezda to Win
Odds: 1.90
Market: Match Winner
Analyst Confidence: 4/5
Crvena Zvezda arrive in excellent attacking form after defeating Larne 9–0 on aggregate in the previous qualifying round. They have looked dangerous from the opening stages of their European campaign and possess the greater individual quality in the final third.
Although Hapoel Beer Sheva are officially the home side, the fixture is being played in Hungary, removing their usual home advantage. Hapoel also required a second-leg comeback to eliminate Víkingur Reykjavík after losing the opening match 2–1.
OLBG tipsters strongly favour the Serbian side, with 77% of the full-time-result selections supporting Crvena Zvezda. Current market odds of around 1.90 offer a reasonable price for the stronger team to take control of the tie.
