David faces Goliath as Red Star Belgrade and Larne meet in the second leg of their Champions League second qualifying round tie, with the Serbian champions holding a commanding 4-0 advantage. Red Star were in complete control from the first whistle in Northern Ireland, showcasing the huge quality gap between the two sides. The hosts have been in impressive attacking form, averaging 2.30 goals per game across their last ten matches and registering an outstanding 2.52 expected goals on average. Marko Arnautović is pushing for a starting place after coming off the bench in the first leg, while Aleksandar Katai is expected to remain among the substitutes as he continues to build up his fitness.
Larne face an impossible task after a disastrous first-leg performance in which they looked out of their depth, particularly in defence. The Northern Irish champions failed to handle Red Star's attacking movement and now need a miracle comeback at the Rajko Mitić Stadium. Their preparations have been further complicated by the absence of key defender Sam McClelland, who remains sidelined through injury. Although Larne have kept six clean sheets in their last ten matches, their European experience and attacking numbers fall far behind Red Star's level, with the visitors averaging only 1.00 goals per away game.
Crvena Zvezda dominated the first leg and should comfortably finish the job at home. Therefore, Home Win seems like a sure bet, alongside Zvezda -1.5 and Over 2.5 goals (Red Star's attacking quality and Larne's need to chase the game could lead to another high-scoring match).
This Champions League match will be played on Wednesday 29 July 2026 at 19:00.
