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.

Players to watch
Takumi Minamino (AS Monaco)
The Japanese forward will be one to watch for Monaco, with star striker Folarin Balogun missing out due to injury. Takumi Minamino is yet to register any goals or assist in the UCL this term. But the former Liverpool forward has one goal and one assist in the French top flight this term.
Cherif Ndiaye (Red Star Belgrade)
The Senegalese striker is known for his extraordinary goal-scoring prowess. He has eight goal contributions to his name, including seven goals and an assist in the Serbian top flight. Ndiaye has been a driving force behind leading Red Star Belgrade to their tenth league title.
He is expected to do the same this season as well. His speed, power and ability to find the back of the net make him an undisputed start for his side.
