Partizan
Partizan had a strong start to the SuperLiga campaign, but they have since suffered a significant dip in form, resulting in elimination from European competitions and a winless streak of three matches in the Serbian league. In the Champions League qualifiers, they were heavily defeated by Dynamo Kyiv.
After dropping to the Europa League, Partizan couldn’t get past Switzerland’s Lugano, and their European hopes were dashed by Belgium's Gent, losing both legs 0-1. Currently, Partizan sits seventh in the league table, trailing Crvena Zvezda by 8 points. Over the last three rounds, the team has earned only two points, with their latest setback coming in a 2-3 defeat to OFK Belgrade last weekend.
Crvena Zvezda
Crvena Zvezda, the reigning Serbian champions, began their Champions League qualification campaign in the playoff round. After losing the first leg to Bodo/Glimt, they managed to turn the tie around on home soil. Midweek, Zvezda hosted Benfica in their opening Champions League group stage match but fell 1-2.
Domestically, Crvena Zvezda registered a 2-0 victory over Napredak last weekend, marking their fifth consecutive SuperLiga win. Their only slip-up came in a 2-2 draw with Mladost Lucani. Currently, they top the standings, leading Mladost Lucani on goal difference.
