Crvena Zvezda
Crvena Zvezda got off to a great start in the current regular season of the national championship, leading the table after five rounds and scoring an average of more than four goals per match. Moreover, the team missed only once from “Mladost” (2:1). There are no problems in the European cups either, because before that it was possible to pass Pyunik (2:0 and 5:0) almost without any difficulties. In the first game with Maccabi, the Serbs also led the score, but underestimated the opponent in the second half (2:3).

Maccabi Haifa
Maccabi Haifa failed to take the Israeli Super Cup, losing to Hapoel Beer Sheva (1:2) in the 11-meter series. Further, the team extremely unexpectedly knocked out the formidable Greek Olympiacos (1:1 and 4:0) from the Champions League. In a similar style it was possible to beat the Cypriot “Apollo” (4:0 and 0:2), despite the defeat in the second leg. The Israelis improved in the second half of the last match and the newcomer Pierro scored a double against the Serbs (3:2).
