Weaknesses
FK Crvena Zvezda
Crvena Zvezda showed plenty of attacking intent, especially in the second half as they sought to capitalize on their numerical advantage.

Key Players
Strengths
Weaknesses
Tactical Analysis
Hapoel Beer Sheva’s 4-3-3 formation prioritized width and quick transitions, with the midfield trio working tirelessly to shield the defense and launch counter-attacks. After taking the lead, they shifted to a more compact shape, especially following the red card, sacrificing attacking intent for defensive solidity. Crvena Zvezda’s 4-2-3-1 system aimed to control possession and stretch the opposition, but while they created pressure, their final ball and finishing let them down. Substitutions and tactical tweaks saw them push more men forward late on, but they struggled to break down a resolute ten-man defense.
Turning Point
The red card to Hapoel Beer Sheva in the second half forced the hosts to dig deep defensively, but their ability to withstand Crvena Zvezda’s onslaught proved decisive.
Man of the Match
Ofir Marciano
Produced crucial saves and marshaled his defense superbly, especially after Hapoel Beer Sheva went down to ten men.
Hapoel Beer Sheva vs FK Crvena Zvezda: Match Preview
Hapoel Beer Sheva enter this Champions League qualifier with a mixed bag of recent results. Their only win in the last five came at home to Vikingur Reykjavik (2-0), a much-needed response after three defeats and a draw, including a heavy Super Cup loss to Maccabi Tel Aviv. The Israeli side have shown attacking intent, scoring in every one of their last five, but defensive frailty remains a concern with 10 goals conceded over that stretch.
FK Crvena Zvezda, meanwhile, are riding a wave of momentum. The Serbian champions have strung together four consecutive wins, including back-to-back Champions League routs of Larne (4-0 away, 5-0 home) and a pair of dominant league victories. Their attack has been relentless, averaging 3.6 goals per game in the last five, and the defence has kept three clean sheets, conceding just once in that period. Notably, Zvezda tend to strike early, with seven first-half goals in their last five outings, while Beer Sheva have conceded first in three of their last four defeats.
Given these trajectories, the model expects Crvena Zvezda's attacking form to carry them through, especially against a Beer Sheva back line that has struggled to contain even modest opponents. While the hosts' scoring streak may see them on the board, the visitors' firepower and defensive discipline should prove decisive. Expect Zvezda to control the tempo, press for an early advantage, and exploit the spaces left as Beer Sheva chase the game.
