Our prediction for the match Inter vs Crvena Zvezda
The "Nerazzurri" delivered a pleasant surprise last season. Despite undergoing a forced rebuild in the summer of 2023 due to financial constraints, the team confidently won the Scudetto without much opposition. However, they faltered in other competitions, including an early exit in the Champions League playoffs, despite being 2023 finalists. Meanwhile, in Belgrade, it was business as usual, with Crvena Zvezda dominating domestically. Their Champions League campaign, however, was disappointing, finishing with only one point from a home draw against Young Boys.
The new season has been more challenging for Inter. They dropped points in the first round, failing to beat Genoa. Other stumbles followed, including a defeat in the Milan derby, which many have written off. On the Serbian side, the intensity of their league's "eternal derby" was evident as they crushed Partizan 4-0 away, showing their focus is now on the Champions League.
Crvena Zvezda qualified for the group stage by overcoming Bodø/Glimt. After losing 1-2 in Norway, they secured a 2-0 victory at home. However, their autumn clash against a more seasoned opponent, Benfica, ended in a 1-2 home defeat. Meanwhile, Inter managed to hold Manchester City to a goalless draw, successfully neutralizing Haaland and company.
