Red Star Belgrade vs Hapoel Be'er Sheva prediction — the Three Pundits debate (UEFA Champions League Qualification)

Marakana, European night, and a draw puts them out. There's no managing this one — they go from the first whistle.

Hapoel are missing a centre-half and a left-back, and Kangwa's gone to Athens so there's nobody left to give them a breather. This gets away from them. Three-nil.

Under 3.5 at 1.79 with 1xBet.

B's right that Red Star win it and wrong about what that's worth to us — backing them to just win pays almost nothing at this price. What I want is the game staying controlled, and it will: with Diop and Amador both out and Kangwa gone, Hapoel have nothing to hurt anyone with on the break. I've got it two-nil, and it still lands if Red Star only manage one, or if Hapoel nick a late consolation.

Three-nil. Against a side whose whole plan is eleven men on the edge of their own box.

Red Star didn't score against these people at all last week. They'll win it — Hapoel are held together with tape at the back — but it's one goal and a lot of chewed fingernails. Which happens to be the same bet, so fine.

One goal. You've watched this team win five of six and you're telling me one goal.

They need two just to stay in the competition, they know it, and that ground knows it. I'm not shaving my call to keep you comfortable. Three-nil — and the Under's still standing when it happens.

Three-nil and the Under both landing would be the funniest night you've had all year. I'll take it either way — Hapoel simply don't have the players left to turn this into a shootout.
