Crvena Zvezda head to face defending champions Manchester City at Etihad Stadium on Tuesday for their opening match of the 2023/2024 UEFA Champions League group stage. Both sides are playing their first match of the European season.
Erling Haaland caught the eye for Manchester City in last season's Champions League with 12 goals, leading all of the competition's top scorers. In their 2022/2023 Europa League campaign, Crvena Zvezda were led by Guélor Kanga with three goals.

They had five first-half goals, while their opponents netted three times in the first 45 minutes. Crvena Zvezda have won four and lost two in their last six. They scored 16 and conceded seven in that period, netting first in four of the six. Most of their goals (nine) came in the first half, while their opponents netted four times before the break.
