For seven years in a row, Red Star has dominated the Serbian championship. At the end of last season, it won not only the championship, but also the National Cup. At the same time, the Red and Whites have good academic results abroad. Every year they achieve better results in European competitions.
Competent selection and management are the key to the team’s success. In the summer, they got rid of unnecessary players, loaned out several promising young players and strengthened the team on a budget but with great quality. Luka Ilic joined the red-and-whites.
The latter’s move is the most promising. Last season, Ilic made 18 appearances in the French Championship for Troyes, scoring five goals and providing three assists. The move to Red Star is a chance for the midfielder to restart his career. He is 25 years old. Not too late.
All this means that the power of the red-and-white attack has increased. In 37 matches of the Serbian championship last season, they scored as many as 95 goals. In the future, this figure could easily exceed 100. The first tests of the updated composition will take place in Sochi.

Despite being relegated to the Primera Liga, the club managed to retain most of its core. Is it because the players are inspired by the productivity of working with Roberto Moreno? The Spanish coach has turned the team around for the better in a short time.
If the Sochi management had appointed Moreno earlier, the team would probably have been able to avoid relegation to the First League. Under his Spanish mentor, he began to show an interesting and well-coordinated team game and constantly got on the nerves of the leaders.
And yet, Sochi did not retain all of its outstanding players. The club said goodbye to the legendary Christian Noboa, loaned out players and may lose defensive leader Vanja Drkusic. We had to recruit a lot of youngsters and Moreno will have to work with them.
The Sochi team recently lost a friendly against Zenit by a crushing score of 2:5. Roberto Moreno explained the result because Alexey Sutormin, who played on loan at Sochi at the end of last season, knows all their secrets. How will the defeat in the match against Red Star be justified?

You can bet on the victory of the red-and-whites and the total of over 2.5 goals at bookmakers with odds of 1.83. Last season, Red Star won the Russian summer friendly tournament, convincingly defeating Zenit (2-1), Neftchi (4-0) and Fenerbahce (3-1). The second approach has begun.
Predictions and bets for the match Red Star – Sochi on July 5, 2024
The red and white are stronger in the head and shoulders. They already have a well-established squad, which requires minor adjustments due to the acquisition of newcomers. Roberto Moreno has a lot more work to do. Meetings with strong rivals will help him strengthen the team, but he will have to suffer. To stop mistakes, it is necessary to admit them and analyze them in detail.
Tender: Red Star wins and the total is now over 2.5 goals at 1.83.
