The Champions League third qualifying round pits the reigning champions of Serbia and Israel against each other. Due to the security situation, Hapoel Beer Sheva will host their "home" match in Hungary, a venue they previously used for a qualifying game against Víkingur. This effectively negates any home-field advantage for Beer Sheva. Experts predict Crvena zvezda, the Serbian champions, enter the tie with stronger positioning. They have continued their impressive form from the previous season into the new campaign. The absence of a true home environment is expected to benefit Crvena zvezda in the upcoming matchup. The game promises to be a competitive encounter despite the unusual circumstances.
