11 Aug 2026 Stadion Rajko Mitić Louis Hecq
Crvena Zvezda welcome Hapoel Be'er Sheva to the Stadion Rajko Mitić on 11 August 2026 for the second leg of their Champions League third qualifying round tie, trailing 1-0 on aggregate. The stakes could hardly be higher: a place in the playoff round awaits the winner, with either Aarhus or Sabah standing between them and the group stages. For the Serbian giants, whose European pedigree demands progression, this is a night where the famous Marakana cauldron must deliver. Hapoel, meanwhile, arrive in Belgrade with a slender but precious advantage.

Crvena Zvezda enter this second leg at Rajko Mitić as commanding favorites at 1.19, averaging 3.4 goals per game across their last five matches while conceding zero in two Champions League qualifier appearances this campaign.
Hapoel Be'er Sheva hold a precious 1-0 aggregate lead but face a daunting task at 10.00, arriving with key absences, a leaky defensive record of 10 goals conceded in five pre-tie matches, and a suspended Matan Baltaxa.
Key point: With over and under markets unavailable, the double chance covering a draw favors Hapoel's low-block survival plan; monitor 5.50 as a hedge if Red Star's reshuffled midfield struggles to break through.

A 4-2-3-1 against a 4-3-3 shapes this Champions League qualifying tie at the Rajko Mitić Stadium, with Crvena Zvezda's double pivot of Rade Krunic and Mohammad Abu Fani tasked with screening a back four and feeding the attacking trio behind Bruno Duarte.
Hapoel Be'er Sheva arrive with their own lineup adjusted from the first leg owing to suspension, meaning their 4-3-3 carries a slightly speculative edge. Javon East offers pace on the flank, and how the Israeli side's midfield three cope with Zvezda's press in the opening exchanges could prove decisive.
Odds recorded on 09 Aug 2026 at 21:55 · Odds are subject to change
Crvena Zvezda's home win at 1.19 represents the standout selection. Seventeen goals in five matches speaks to a side in ruthless attacking form, while Hapoel's leaky defence, shipping ten goals across the same span, compounds their vulnerability. The departure of Kings Kangwa strips Be'er Sheva of midfield creativity at the worst possible moment. Over 2.5 goals at N/A offers additional value given the hosts' prolific output. Backed by a fervent Marakana crowd and needing just two goals to overturn the deficit, a Crvena Zvezda victory looks well within reach.
