TEAM FORM
Zvezda ended the previous season as the winner of the third consecutive double crown and a participant in the group stage of the Champions League for the 2023/24 season. Barak Bahar's footballers went through two preparation cycles in which we achieved five victories in the same number of games. At Zlatibor, we were better than Selection Užice (3:1) and Borc from Banja Luka (2:0), and then won the "Pari Cup" in Russia and successfully defeated Zenit (2:1), Nefči (4:0) and Fenerbahçe (3:1). Our team played the last duel at the Maracana against the TSC team, and we won a routine 3:0 victory. The goals for the red and white team were scored by Mirko Ivanić, Piter Olanjinka and Jean-Philippe Crassault.
Fiorentina finished the previous season in Serie A in eighth position with 56 points. However, the team from the "Artemio Franki" stadium played the final of the Italian Cup against Inter and suffered a defeat, and in addition, the Vicenza Italian team lost the Conference League final against West Ham. Viola started the new season with a preparatory cycle in which they drew with Parma (1:1), triumphed over Catanzaro (3:0) and convincingly defeated their young team (8:1). After the duel with our Red Star, Fiorentina will play five more control matches before the start of the new season, which for Viola is scheduled for August 19 and the visit of Genoa.
