Prediction: 4-0
Lincoln Red Imps
David faces Goliath at Stadion Rajko Mitic in Belgrade as Crvena Zvezda and Lincoln Red Imps go head to head in the Champions League second qualifying round, return leg. The Serbian champions defeated Lincoln 1-0 in Gibraltar and they are seen as hot favourites to win Tuesday’s clash as well. Star signing Marko Arnautovic is expected to make his Zvezda debut against Lincoln Red Imps, while Aleksandar Katai is pushing for a start after scoring a brace as a substitute in a 7-1 crushing of OFK Beograd at the weekend.
Right-back Seol Young-Woo misses out through suspension. Juanjo Bezares’ men, on the other hand, will have a mountain to climb in Tuesday’s clash as Crvena Zvezda are a real force to be reckoned with at home. As previously mentioned, a David-vs-Goliath clash is expected and anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. There are no fresh injury concerns in the visiting team.
Highlighted Team (Crvena Zvezda):
Crvena Zvezda are the most famous club in Balkans. The Crveno-beli have 19 Yugoslav First League titles and have won eight domestic trophies since the breakup of Yugoslavia. Crvena Zvezda won their last league title in the 2015/2016 season, with the team finishing the campaign no less than 28 points clear of Partizan.
Speaking of Partizan, the Crno-beli are considered Crvena Zvezda’s bitterest rivals and the two teams meet in the “Eternal derby” (Veciti derbi). The capital club did well to win the European Cup title in 1991, with the team beating Olympique Marseile on penalties in the title game. That is considered the club’s biggest success, but it has to be noted that the Serbian club won the International Cup later in 1991. Crvena Zvezda outclassed Colo Colo of Chile (3-0) at National Stadium in Tokyo.
The likes of Dejan Savicevic, Vladimir Jugovic, Dragan Stojkovic, Dragoslav Sekularac, Rajko Mitic, Dusan Savic, Nemanja Vidic and Dejan Stankovic are some of the famous footballers who played for Crvena Zvezda in the past.
