AS Monaco vs Red Star Belgrade Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds
The visitors will be looking for their first point of the UCL season.
The UEFA Champions League (UCL) returns for its third match day. French giants AS Monaco gear up to host Red Star Belgrade with the hope of continuing their fine run of form in Europe. Monaco started off with a shocking win over FC Barcelona before playing out a 2-2 draw against Dinamo Zagreb.
They are yet to lose a game in the UCL this season. They are placed 14th on the table with four points in hand.
Red Star Belgrade on the other hand have not had a memorable start to life in the UCL this season. However, the Red-Whites have experienced a great run of form in their domestic league and sit at the top of the table with ten wins in eleven games. The stakes are very high in this game because they will need at least a point to get off the mark.
