FK Crvena Zvezda vs Larne Prediction (29.07.2026)

Red Star started the new season in the Serbian championship in an impressive manner, winning convincingly in their first two matches. The team's excellent form carried over into the Champions League qualifiers, where last week they decisively defeated Linfield 4-0 away, practically ensuring their comfort before the return leg. Now the Belgraders will play in front of their home crowd and look like an even bigger favorite for another success.

Although Linfield managed to pass the first qualifying round of the tournament, the task ahead for the Northern Irish team now seems much more difficult. The first match clearly demonstrated Red Star's superiority, as they not only scored four unanswered goals but also left almost no chances for their opponent. With such a difference in class, it is hard to expect a radically different outcome in the return leg, especially since the Serbian champions will be the hosts.

Despite the comfortable lead from the first leg, I do not believe that Red Star will significantly reduce their intensity. The team is in excellent form and has all the prerequisites to record another convincing victory. I expect the hosts to once again completely control the events on the field and win the match, keeping their net clean for the second consecutive time.
